This summer, I'll again be offering a series of plant walks around South Minneapolis.


The location will change throughout the season - mostly we'll be meeting in parks or along the creek/lakes. This will be a chance to find help identifying plants that are new to you, and to learn a bit more about plants you know already. We'll peek, smell, and taste the plants we encounter throughout the walk, and may have an opportunity to harvest as we go, too.



The Four Dates for this Season's Plant Walks are:

Monday, June 9th - 6:30-8:00pm - Meet at West River Road and 36th Street

Tuesday, July 1st - 6:30-8:00pm

Monday, July 28th - 6:30-8:00pm

Tuesday, August 19th - 6:30-8:00pm


Specific meet-up locations will be posted here closer to the dates. If you signed up ahead of time you’ll receive an email with location details the week of the walk.


Summers are busy! Please register early if possible. I'm going to make these walks available on a drop-in basis this year, too, but dates that I don't have pre-registrations might get cancelled. Also, letting me know you'll be there means we'll be watching for you the day of!


I am asking $15-45 (sliding scale) for each plant walk. If you'd like to sign up for the entire series the ask is $50-150 (for 4 walks).

Exploring Medicinal Plants, One-at-a-Time


This summer, I'm excited to team up again with herbalist Reishi Leaf to offer an evening series of low-key plant courtship. We'll choose one plant at each gathering (following the gardens' lead), and spend time getting to know that plant slowly in all the ways.


Meetings will happen from 6:30-8:00 on select weekday evenings at Anam Cara House in South Minneapolis.


We will come equipped with everything we know about the medicinal uses, ecology, history and lore of the day's chosen plant, and we will weave tasting, harvest, reflection, and medicine-making into the evenings too.


Sign Up Here Now to get reminders before each gathering throughout the summer, and then drop by whenever you can!


We're asking $15-25 sliding scale per session, to be paid day of (Venmo/cash/check/we can work something out).

Minneapolis, MN 55407

Herb and Print-Making Class

Thursday, June 12th * 5:30-8:30pm * Fireweed Community Woodshop


For over two years, print-making artist Jessie Merriam and I have been offering this series of deep-dives into one single plant. It's kind of a wonder that it's taken us this long to turn our attention to dandelion - this fierce, persistent, medicine-for-the-people. But now is a great time!


I'll share what I know about the history and botany of the plant, and we'll discuss medicinal and culinary uses, and do some sampling. Then Jessie will lead us in creating our own woodblock prints honoring this bright, abundant beauty. Participants will go home with their prints and a tin of dandelion flower salve!


We'll have time while carving for more conversation about Dandelion's many virtues!


Registration is open now on the Fireweed website: https://www.fireweedwoodshop.org/event-6122415
