This 2-day workshop is designed for herbal enthusiasts, herbalists, and foragers. The intent is to increase confidence in seeing, experiencing and identifying the plants clearly. The program will take place “in the field,” in both prairie and woodland environments, and will include practices in identification, observation, and organoleptic (sensory) skills. Students will learn skills and increase their confidence and direct engagement with the green world.

 

Learning and practicing field botany as well as sensory exercises is practical and fun. Through playful and engaging observation exercises, sensory experiences, and practice with plant keys, everyone will leave this program with skill-building techniques, feeling more confident and excited about creative approaches to engaging with the plant world.
