Natural Awakenings Greater Boston - Rhode Island

Herbal Plant Walk

Plant walk with local herbalist in East Providence, RI

Ever wonder about the plants that grow around us? Medicinal plants are everywhere - in our backyards, along the streets we walk, and in open spaces. Many weeds have medicinal value and have been used by our ancestors for thousands of years for food and medicine. This walk is led by adjunct professor, Ava Long from The Boston School of Herbal Studies. We will look at plants ranging from the familiar such as dandelion, to the less well known: sweet fern, goldenrod, and Japanese knotweed. We will discuss which parts of the plants are used medicinally and how they nourish us and support health. Ava will also be able to demonstrate making a tincture (herbal extract). Sign up today for an informative walk! You will never look at weeds the same again! Walks take place sprinkle or shine - if it is raining hard enough to require umbrellas, the walk will be canceled.
