August 26, 2023 ~ 1:00-4:00pm ~ East Phillips Community Garden, South Minneapolis
I'll be leading a plant walk as part of this community care event, organized by my friend Emrys Stramer at the community garden she tends. This event is free and open to everyone. I hope to have some remedies to share with folks as part of our gathering!
Saturday, September 9th, 2023 * 3-5pm * Terrell Mayes Community Garden, North Minneapolis
I am honored to have been invited to lead a discussion about this dynamic, many-named plant as part of a community healing project initiated by Community Members for Environmental Justice in North Minneapolis.
We will be talking about the many medicinal uses for the many-named M. fistulosa (sweetleaf / bee balm / wild bergamot / wild oregano...), including first aid applications, and then crafting remedies to share.

This summer, I'll be offering a series of casual plant walks in and around my South Minneapolis neighborhood (55407).
The location will change based on who's sprouting and in bloom - 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.
Dates for the plant walks are:
PAST...
Tuesday, May 9 - 6:30-8pm ~ Minnehaha Creek
Tuesday, June 6 - 6:30-8pm ~ Coldwater Spring
Saturday, June 24 - 10:30am-12pm ~ Lake Nokomis
Tuesday, July 11 - 6:30-8pm ~ Powderhorn Park
UPCOMING...
Tuesday, August 8 - 6:30-8pm
Saturday, August 26 - 10:30am-12pm
Tuesday, September 19 - 6:30-8pm
Summers are busy! and so, these are subject to change if certain days don't draw a lot of people. Please register early if possible.
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 $80-240 (for 7 meetings).
