Many of the herb walks I do are daylong affairs, often
on weekends. I understand that this makes coming
difficult for some people due to work or family
schedules. Enter the evening herb walk series.
This spring, summer and fall, join me and spend a few
hours looking at plants in at Tenhave Woods in Royal Oak, MI
(on
Normandy between Main/Livernois and Crooks)...
On our walk we'll be wandering around the beautiful
Tenhave Woods to explore the medicinal virtues, identification,
folklore and preparation of many of the common "weeds"
and wildflowers we pass by every day. The information
presented will be both specific and practical, based on jim's twenty plus years experience in gathering,
preparing, and using herbal remedies, and provide a
basis for participants to incorporate what they have
learned into usable skills with which to maintain and
restore health.
At each walk we'll look at the herbs that are in their
prime at the moment, which will vary from season to
season. Please note that evening herb walks
(especially in the fall) sometimes flirt with darkness,
so bring along a flashlight to keep you illuminated...
