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.
Soothing Skin Medicine
“Emollient herbs are used externally to soften and soothe the skin.”
Our skin reflects its environment. The hot, dry summer weather shows. Does your skin get dry, cracked, irritated, perhaps itchy or inflamed? Lets come together with herbal allies to help soothe our skin. Lets touch and feel the cooling or moistening benefits of seasonal plants such as calendula, mallows, plantain, comfrey, purslane and others. Learn ways to preserve the emollient effects while cooling and hydrating the skin. Plant preparations will include succus’, compress and poultices as well as spritzers.
