  ***Customized workshops or presentations on topics not offered can be made available upon request.

    Workshops are offered locally in Southwestern Wisconsin, Southeastern Minnesota, and Northern Iowa. 

     Each workshop takes 4 hours to present, and includes a lecture and demonstration, an herb walk, a harvesting expedition, and hands-on activities making medicinal preparations or cooking with wild foods. Detailed hand-outs and recipes are provided with each workshop.

       I limit each workshop to 15 people and like to have a minimum of 6 people.  Cost is 20$ per person.  If I have to travel more than 100 miles I charge 25$ per person.

      Workshop sites must include a kitchen (especially for the wild food workshops) and an outdoor setting with abundant, diverse plant life for the herb walk and harvesting.  Highly mowed and landscaped settings tend to displace the local, wild ‘weeds’ we will be using in each workshop.

      I am also available for medicinal herb and/or wild food walks or presentations.  Please feel free to e-mail me with any questions.
