Dreaming of turning your yard into a medicinal and edible sanctuary? Get inspired to grow your own medicines! In this workshop, participants will design an edible and/or medicinal landscape, while learning hands-on growing techniques for medicinal and culinary plants and shrubs. This class will touch on permaculture principles, as well as growing plants for other crafts. With a focus on edible and medicinal plants, shrubs, and trees, participants will begin designing their own landscapes. We will learn about growing plants from seed or cutting. We will also go into detail about zone 3-5 plants that can be used as food and medicine, how to grow, prepare, and use them. Participants will take home seeds, saplings, and a design that they can implement at home. Additional plants and seeds will be available for purchase from the instructor. Youth ages 14+ are welcome to register for this class with a full-paying adult. Youth registrants are eligible for a 25% intergenerational discount; call to register.
