Come
spend an afternoon at Flanders with herbalist Jennifer Grant. Jennifer will
briefly discuss the history of herbalism and then proceed on to a discussion of
our local edible and medicinal “weeds”. Further, Jennifer will discuss the
various constituents and actions for each plant, and which plants to avoid.
Discussion will be followed by a plant identification walk and discussion about
harvesting plants in a responsible manner. The afternoon will conclude with a
discussion of the nutritional value of many of these plants, and tea blending
for basic health and nutrition. With a little guidance prepare your own tea
blend to enjoy at home.
Pre-registration is required. Please call 203-263-3711 x 12
