Each monthly 3-hour class will include in-class and in-field time to botanically I.D., gather, and harvest useful plants with in-depth sharing on plants’ ecological, nutritional, medicinal, and cross-cultural usage, as well as hands-on time to prepare some of the plants to sample and for participants to take home.
