Medicinal Herb Walk in Fenton Backyard

Thursday, June 25th, 6:00 pm
I'm offering an herb walk class in our back garden, adjacent to the Shiawasee River. I have a dedicated medicinal herb bed that includes some things you may not see as frequently in the wild around here like rue, feverfew, valerian, angelica, mugwort, marshmallow, chamomile, comfrey, lemon balm, as well as plants you may come across in the wild like catnip, Saint John's wort, New England aster, boneset, yarrow, Monarda fistulosa, motherwort, California poppy, calendula, Solomon's seal, black cohosh, wood betony, pleurisy root, blue vervain, and several more I'm probably not thinking of.
We'll talk about these plants, their properties, identifying them and how to use them medicinally, as well as their preferred growing habitat. Its a small backyard, but with a little forethought and determination, a medicinal garden can fit just about anywhere.
Classes are $25, and preregistration is required, as space is limited. This class often sells out early, so be sure to register early! Call 810-569-6820 to preregister, or sign up online through our ticket link.
