Foraging and Medicine Making: Discover the Hidden World of Native Plants
I have spent the last 16 years making medicine and learning about the native plants that grow around me, especially in my office in Washington Park. When I'm not hiking in the woods and teaching archery one of my other favorite things to do is learn about, forage for, and use native plants for food and medicine.
