Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could support our health and help create habitat? Learn how our personal health and that of the surrounding landscape are inter-connected, how native medicinal plants can restore not only large-scale ecological systems, but also small-scale systems like our immune system. I’ll share background research, explore several of my own projects that illustrate the connections between ecological and human health and give an in-depth description of selected plants and their healing and ecological attributes, so that your landscape can reflect a commitment to personal health and the health of the landscape around you.
Join us for this one-hour presentation with thirty additional minutes provided for questions and discussion. Hand-outs and additional resources will be provided to participants prior to the session.
