Sunday 15 October 2017
Sun 15 Oct, 9:30 am-12 pm. Did you know that we are “walking over medicine” with every step? Come on a walk around the Working Food neighborhood to see nature’s seasonal smorgasbord of edible and medicinal plants. You will see common weeds that can be found in North Florida yards or disturbed areas, such as pastures, vacant lots, parks, and roadsides.
Susan will share her passion for medicinal weeds and you will learn some of the important physical and medicinal characteristics of the plants and the plant families and will taste some of the wild plants. Be ready to take notes and pictures in this fast-paced class!
Led by Susan Marynowski.
