Description

During this easy and fun Urban(ish) Herb Walk walk we will:

  • Solve many little mysteries of who has been growing in your yard and garden beds!
  • Meet common wild plants (native, naturalized, and invasive) that both pop up in disturbed areas and flourish in less touched places.
  • Learn identification tips, and culinary & medicinal uses of the plants we visit with such as yellow dock, self heal, willow, dandelion (of course!), and even mugwort.
  • Toast the season together with a celebratory pot of tea crafted with plants we’ll meet!

Upcoming Friday Herb Walk:

  • 10/6/2023, 4-6pm: Eureka Greenspace Herb Walk at Cooper Gulch

“Summer is for surrendering; winter is for wonde “Summer is for surrendering; winter is for wondering.” — Debasish Mridha

Oh how a touch of frost transforms our *perma-spring* on the northern Humboldt Coast into a momentary wonderland. What a joy!

Say good morning to Urtica urens, the annual or small nettle. This species of nettle is native to northern Asia, north-west Africa, and Europe. In the British Isles U. urens is an archeophyte: an ancient introduction.

Here on the Humboldt Coast, annual nettle may be found growing in damp agricultural areas, like here in the beautiful winter fields of @redwoodrootsfarmcooperative where it is a weed… perfect for herbalists to pick alongside their kale and brussel sprouts 💚

As I sip my warm *weedy* nettle tea, it delights with a savory saltiness… a lovely reminder of the mineral-rich medicine that all nettle species (including our native Urtica dioica) carry.
