The Botany\u00a0& Wildcrafting Course explores plants as living beings and their fascinating ecological relationships with other organisms, as well as the ways in which our own ecosystem can shape how we\u00a0incorporate plants into our lives<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Together we will explore the visual characteristics of plant parts<\/strong> and learn how to use dichotomous keys for plant identification. We\u2019ll learn tips and tools for identifying<\/strong> botanical families and patterns in nature, and how our familiarity with various plant families can help inform our ability to identify plants and in some cases, understand how we can use them. We\u2019ll get hands-on with lessons dedicated to more artistic ways of engaging with the plant kingdom through drawing (everyone can do it!) and creating a personal herbarium of pressed plant specimens.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Together, we\u2019ll dive into the ethics and techniques of wild-harvesting<\/strong>, and introduce many common wild edibles and herbs (and how to identify and use them!) as well as at-risk plant species, all which require the stewardship of conscientious plant-lovers. With plant monographs as a handy reference for 25 common wild edibles and herbs<\/strong>, you will gain confidence<\/em> as you endeavor to identify these plants on your own.<\/span><\/p>\n

Botany is the doorway to understanding plants on a deeper level. <\/span><\/h3>\n

This is an introductory to intermediate level course for budding herbalists and wildcrafters who wish to identify and become more familiar with common wild edibles, herbs, and at-risk plants, as well as gain an understanding of the big picture of plant ecology and how human practices such as wild-harvesting can impact this ecology. Through the study of botanical features and engagement with plants in new ways, the written lessons and videos in this course provide the tools for a wealth of discoveries about the plant kingdom!<\/span><\/p>\n
