Consuming local plants as food and medicine is an excellent way to deepen your relationship to the natural environment while nourishing yourself. Join community herbalist Katherine Elmer of Spoonful Herbals to meet common medicinal plants growing in backyards and urban spaces on a walk at the former Ethan Allen Homestead (Winooski Valley Park District). Plant identification and safe harvesting of plants from urban areas will also be discussed. You might come away with a newfound appreciation for those "nuisance weeds"! Held in Burlington.
