Barberry, Knotweed, Multiflora Rose, Purple Loosestrife... How can we expand our relationship to these persistent, overabundant, and highly medicinal plant species? In this class, we'll expand our understanding of these maligned plant allies and learn how they can be harvested to help heal our wild landscapes, our bodies, and our own sense of belonging to the land. Identification, harvest, preparation, and use will all be covered.
