Here’s a gift idea for your favorite human for Mother’s Day. Give them, or yourself, an experience with forager Candise Jordan making simple folk herbal preparations from found wild edibles. In this hands-on workshop, we’ll start with a plant walk to learn how to identify many wild edibles. Afterwards, we’ll sample wild teas and make our choice of an herbal tonic or tincture using the plants we foraged. We’ll learn the history, edible uses, and medicinal benefits of each plant. Each participant will go home with their own preparation. After each event, participants will receive a follow-up email with the common name and botanical name of every wild edible encountered, along with supplemental materials to continue learning.
