Reviews “Alison (and staff) were knowledgeable and engaging. She showed us several edible and medicinal plants. She had lots of activities for the students including making a salve, fire starting and making acorn flour. it was a great hands on program.” – Alysia “What a meaningful and FUN experience—Allison was so knowledgeable and both students and adults learned so much, from how to make homemade salves to foraging for wild plants such as plantain, yarrow, violet, and spice bush. We will be repeat attendees, for sure! Thanks.” – Sarah “Thank you so much for teaching my son and I about the edible plants!  We appreciate your knowledge about which plants are edible and which are poisonous, as well as which ones have look-a-likes.
