Join Westford herbalist Amber Kennedy on a woodland plant walk in the beautiful forests of Westford, Vermont. This private property is home to the Boheme Botanika apothecary and gardens and supports many thriving plant ecosystems.
During this walk we will be exploring springtime ephemerals, plants with a short life cycle who are only with us in early spring. Discover why these plants are so special and what we can do to protect them while enjoying their beauty and magic for their fleeting earth visit.
On this leisurely woodland walk you will be introduced to Trilliums, Blue Cohosh, Hepaticas, Spring Beauty, Trout Lilies, Dutchman's Breeches and more! Find out how to properly identify them, their latin names, some folklore and magic associated with them and some historical context about these plants in addition to conservation tips as well as ethical considerations of working with these plants. This walk will have a special focus on Ramps (wild onions!) and sustainable foraging advice. Learn all about their interesting growth cycle while basking in acres of these gorgeous Alliums!
Many of these plants only grace us with their beauty for a few short weeks so now is the time to get out there to study and admire them!
Happening next Wednesday 5/3 ! Space is limited and pre-registration is required!
Also, dates are posted for my series of monthly Medicinal Plant Walks that take place on the trails behind Westford Elementary School! AND I still have a few spots in my 2023 Wild Folk Herbal Apprenticeship!
Hope to see you in the forest this season!
