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.
Solstice Flower Medicine
“Summer Solstice; the time at which the sun reaches its maximum declination, marked by the longest day of the year.”
How do you celebrate the Summer Solstice? What plants do you notice surrounding you at this time of year? Join us under the sun, embracing the warm, bright, uplifting medicine that it brings. In this class we will harvest flowers that support the mind and body, which may include St. John’s Wort, Self-Heal, cultivated Arnica and more. Suggested plant preparations will cover topical oils and salves.
