Practical and very hands-on, this course gives students the opportunity to incorporate herbs into their everyday lives. Hands-on experiences include plant walks for identification; ethical wildcrafting; herbal preparations, including herbal oils, ointments and tinctures; wild food foraging and cooking; herbal first aid; flower essence preparation and uses; and herbal care for common conditions such as colds and allergies.
