URBAN FORAGING + HERB WALK
SATURDAY, JANUARY 3OTH 3-5PM
Meet at Yaupon Teahouse + Apothecary in Savannah, Georgia
Abby Artemisia, a botanist, herbalist, and forager, will be taking us on an adventure into the wild urban spaces, through the parks of Savannah, to see what wild foods and herbs surround us, how we safely identify them and ethically harvest them, and how to cook and preserve them. You’ll be surprised how many plants grow here in the city, even in the Winter! Get an introduction to basic botany to demystify plant identification and use all of your senses to learn more about these plants. Bring your questions, field guides, notebooks, and cameras, along with hiking boots, rain jackets, and water bottles.
We will begin at Yaupon Teahouse + Apothecary with complimentary Yaupon tea samples and hear about the incredible benefits of this local indigenous plant. Abby will also have her book, The Herbal Handbook for Homesteaders: Farmed & Foraged Herbal Remedies and Recipes (for any urban or rural home/stead) for sale after the walk.
AFTER CLASS...
Abby will have her book, The Herbal Handbook for Homesteaders, and her ethically wildcrafted Appalachian herbal products available for sale after the walk. Bring cash, check, or cards to purchase.
