Join Heather Houskeeper, "The Botanical Hiker", on Saturday August 15 in Milford, PA to explore the array of edible and medicinal plants. Pre-registration is required and this event is limited to 12 folks! Heather will provide valuable methods for confident identification, ethical harvest, and easy preparation. Edible and medicinal plants can be found from urban to wilderness landscapes. Many may be found in your own backyard, in the garden as common weeds, or in other natural places you frequent. Learn how to transform these wild plants into delicious snacks, medicinal teas, and home remedies. Our walk will conclude with a medicinal tea tasting highlighting a plant we've met! The walk will be easy to moderate in nature with many stops along the way to meet the plants. Please note that this walk is educational in nature and that no plants will be harvested from the grounds. The class will take place on Heather's land and on nearby Pinchot family land (Gifford Pinchot, the Father of Conservation) in the Milford Experimental Forest. Exact locations will be provided to participants as the program nears. Learn more about Heather at:
