Wild Edible and Medicinal Plant Workshop

at the Eco Industrial Plant in Pittsboro. For directions, click here.

“Look to the plants, animals, rocks, waters, winds and soils as teachers. At first, these entities do not teach in a classical sense but on deeper levels. You will learn a great deal about the natural world by just observing and trying to understand how the plants or animals fit into the overall scheme.” – Tom Brown

In this workshop, we will cover:

• Basic Plant Identification
• Safety Guidelines for Collection
• Preserving and Storage
• Herbal Preparations
