Aspirin's roots are in willow bark, witch hazel still sits in medicine cabinets, and sweet gum's spiky seed balls carry real anti-viral properties. In this class, herbalist Patricia Kyritsi Howell walks through the native Appalachian trees and shrubs that have served as remedies for generations. You'll learn to identify them in the woods, harvest bark, twigs, and leaves sustainably, and give them what they need in your own landscape, whether that's wet feet, deep shade, or something in between. Perfect for beginners, herb lovers, and gardeners who want to explore medicinal purposes of our native plants.
