Herb Walk: REDWOOD ROOTS FARM

Description

During this easy, fun, and ridiculously beautiful walk we will:

• Soak in the beauty and abundance of the late summer garden at the peak of flower season!
• Learn how to identify common edible & medicinal wild herbs and garden weeds… from chickweed, to horsetail, to hawthorn, and many more.
• Visit with common culinary herbs such as fennel, parsley, and thyme and view them through the lens of their medicinal properties.
• Share inspiration for incorporating the plants we meet into our lives as nourishing food and medicine
• Gather plants as we go to transform into (and enjoy!) a Wild & Garden Herb Pesto.
• Toast the start of the harvest season together with a celebratory pot of tea crafted with plants we gather along our stroll!
