Join jim mcdonald in an exploration of the diverse flora
of northern lower peninsula. We'll discuss the
medicinal virtues of a number of wild plants, with a
special emphasis on why understanding how a plant
smells, tastes and feels can help you discern who it
will best help (after all... we are using plants for
individual people, not the names of the issues they
have). Along the way, we'll also discuss the
importance of ethical and sustainable wildcrafting/foraging,
a myriad array of preparations, and allow plenty of time
for questions and dicussion.
