Season of Wellness: Winter- Plants and their Remedies
JSU Field School
Join herbalist, Donna Smith, for JSU Field School’s class in the Seasonal Wellness Series,
built for both new herbal enthusiasts as well as the more advanced apothecarist. This series will help you learn more about our native plants, their many uses, and how to grow and process them in the context of your own at-home medicinal herb garden.
In this series, we will review the "ailments of Winter" affecting our families - we will discuss the foods and medicinal plants available to us for addressing these issues - we will collaborate as a group to make several take-home concoctions - and, as a great winter task, we will walk away with a plan for creating your own Winter/Early Spring medicine cabinet.
For the gardeners and foragers, there will be a Winter Tree ID walk around the grounds (easy walk) - and, we will review gardening tasks for the Winter months to prepare for our healing gardens of 2024.
