Class Description

Come explore the folk medicinal, magical and functional uses of plants from the perspective of ethnobotany! Cordage, dye, and cures all live within the bark and leaves of the plant world and their historical uses are often still relevant today, or at least provide us with a deeper knowing of how earlier peoples related to the plant world.
