3 Seasons
Plant Walks
with Lise Wolff, RH (AHG), MSc
with Lise Wolff RH (AHG), MSc. in Herbalism University of Wales
Join Lise Wolff in online plant walks covering 3 seasons of plants used in Western herbal medicine. She has been teaching these classes for over 20 years. Now they are available online for you to learn and enjoy at your convenience.
These plant walks take place in Minnesota at the northern end of the "Big Woods" ecological region of North America. This is an area where Western herbalism was gifted many herbs from the Indigenous Peoples or from the exploration of the woods. The area is also home to herbs of Northern Europe (UK, Germany, Scandinavia, Poland, temperate parts of Russia) - intentionally or unintentionally brought by settlers.
This online plant walk series covers many traditional plants used in Western herbal medicine. It is worthwhile to know these herbs. This is a cool temperate region. Lise will not cover many of the Mediterranean plants characteristic of southern Europe and Australia.

During winter the plant world seems quieter. This isn't the moment for harvesting, but preparing. During the plant walks botanical latin is referenced for every plant. This is the time to get a better grounding in that topic. And to have an overview
In this early spring section of Lise Wolff's Three Seasons of Herbal Wisdom Plant Walks you will learn to identify baby plants, the first greenery that shows. Learn how to properly identify common look-alikes, little tid-bits of their uses, and more!
Spring has sprung! Walking outside, lawns are green and trees have burst with pink and white flowers in abundance. There are still plenty of new wild foods to eat everywhere. How to make Flower Essences and more with Lise Wolff!
It's definitely summer. The light is brighter and more intense. Days are long, heat and humidity hang in the air, punctuated by heavy rain and brief respites of cool. The flowering trees have formed fruits, whether edible or inedible to humans.
Each Class is equal to several hours of a typical in-person plant walk. This content is condensed and edited into multiple short, easy-to-digest videos.

Read MoreGet outdoors more to learn more! This is one of the best classes available anywhere. Best of any plant walk themed class that I've seen. Lise Wolff's class makes you look at your neighborhood, roads, parks, etc with more awareness all throughout the year. She includes signatures and myth which solidifies your memory and understanding and the very importantl skill of tree identification. I may not be able to see what plants are half a mile from where I'm standing but I can probably recognize some of the trees from that distance... That is important knowledge. Thanks Lise!
