Intro to Sustainable Foraging: Edible & Medicinal Plants

September 14, 2024 @ 6:30 am - 8:30 am

$20

Rain or shine, join us in the Botany Barn for an informative chat about best foraging practices. Weather permitting, there will be a walk after the presentation.

In this talk, Sarah Sorci of Sweet Flag Herbs will share different practices for harvesting invasive, non-native, and abundant native plants. We’ll discuss edible and medicinal uses of a few common plants and how to ethically harvest them.

Participants will sample sustainably-harvested herbal preparations, and they’ll take home a guide for sustainably harvesting edible and medicinal WNY plants.

Children 17 and under come free with an adult.

But wait, there is more!! Attendees can get an extra 10% off Sweet Flag Herb’s Native Culinary Herbs course! Learn more here: https://sweetflagherbs.com/native-culinary-herbs-online…

Also, Sarah will have copies of her new book, ‘Living Ancestry: Connecting with Cultural Heritage through Plants, Nature, and Our Senses’ available for purchase. This book provides easy-to-do exercises, meditations, original artwork, poetry, and short essays that foster stronger ancestral ties by way of the natural world.
