Wild Botanicals is a series of classes created on the basis of the harvest season in Snoqualmie Valley. Classes are in-person, outside and within the ecosystem of the plant(s). Students will learn botanical ID, look alikes, growth habits and harvesting ethics, plant processing and preparations. We will work with both wild and cultivated plants with edible and/or medicinal uses based on the class theme. Students are encouraged to bring their own in-field medicine making materials to experience the full process of field to kitchen medicine.
SEED & NUT NOURISHING Medicine
The squirrels are key indicators of the changing season- as well as the nourishment abound. Seeds are ripe and nuts are being stored all in good timing. The cooler weather asks us to savor this years harvest by bringing the seeds to their next step of the journey. Come join us as we learn about the different ways to use seeds and nuts for nourishment, seed-saving, planting, and, of course, wildlife connection. Botanicals may include oak acorns, hazelnut (native and cultivated), dock species, plantain, sunflower species, and other wild and cultivated perennials.
