Spring

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. Our baby plants are getting bigger and changing shape. It is the season of spring ephemerals in the woods before the tree canopy has fully unfurled its leaves. But really flowers, flowers everywhere.  This calls for learning to make flower essences!

As always, you will learn to distinguish neighboring plants that look alike and some common and unusual uses of these plants based on the Doctrine of Signatures.
