Melissa Morrison of Dragonfly Botanicals next month to lead the Herbal Pathfinder Series:
Exploring the Natural World of Herbs
Laconia, NH: Foray into the wild and tame world of herbs at Prescott Farm with Master Herbalist, Melissa Morrison starting Saturday, May 14 from 10:00am – 12:30pm. The Herbal Pathfinder Series: Exploring the Natural World of Herbs will be a series of six classes (once a month, May through October) in which students will learn how to identify herb medicine plants of the fields & forest, how to harvest and then use the herbs in preparations for pleasure and medicine. Come to learn, come to enjoy the seasons and play with the herbs! You may register for one class or the entire series. All classes will take place at Prescott Farm located on 928 White Oaks Road.
May’s class will focus on beginnings! The herbs are poking up through the earth for discovery, giving us their wisdom for healing and food. Students will learn how to identify herb and woodland plants then move into the classroom to make teas, tissanes, and decoctions for healing and health. For more information on the rest of the Herbal Pathfinder Series programs offered June-October please go to www.prescottfarm.org.
