Learn how to identify flowering plants & shrubs using Newcomb's Wildflower Guide. Learn more about botany including major plant groups (mosses, ferns, grasses, herbaceous perennials, woody shrubs, trees, and vines) and talk about life cycles (annuals, biennials, and perennials, pollination, seed dispersal, and other seasonal changes). We'll use some sample plants to illustrate different flower structures, leaf shapes, and leaf arrangements. This will lead into Newcomb's plant keying system. Later we'll go outside and identify plants in the field. Once you learn the basics of Newcomb's, you will be able to build their identification skills of plants in the wild on their own. Next will be a guided walk to learn about edible plants and which we will gather to make a salad and/or tea.

Herbal Energetics, Mountain Roots, and More
with Mimi Hernandez MS, RH (AHG)
May 18 - 9:00am 5:00pm
May 19 - 9:00am-3:00pm
Herbal Energetics, Taste and Understand
Every herbalist should begin with an understanding of taste and activity. You can tell a lot about what an herb does both
physically and energetically based on the way it tastes and feels in your mouth. What does astringent taste like? How does that tightening feeling lead to healing? What about herbs with an aromatic flavor, what do they all tend to have in common? We will learn how that bitter taste gets the juices flowing, the sour herbs can be awakening, and the spicy herbs, of course have a lot to tell
us!
Mountain Roots! - Discover the lore, tradition, and science behind Appalachia's most popular and native medicinal roots, from the well known and economically exalted roots of the culture like Ginseng and Black Cohosh to the local secret favorites like Yellowroot and Stoneroot and many more! Come away with tidbits on Appalachian culture past, present, and future and its contribution to our herbal materia medica.
