The botanically-rich region of the Tennessee Valley makes it a full pharmacy when it comes to the medicinal qualities of its native plants. In this course, participants will get to know over 20 native plants found at Reflection Riding: how to identify them, where they grow, what their medicinal properties are, how and when to harvest them and how to make them into medicine. We will match plants with people through a health assessment, so participants can see what plants might be important to include in their own garden to help themselves, their friends and family. Ethically-sound and sustainable sourcing and wildcrafting practices will be stressed. 


Materials to bring! Notebook, pencils, snacks, and water. This class will be both in and out of doors, please wear weather-appropriate clothing and foot wear.


Registration Policy: 

As with all CNP classes, class size is limited. To give everyone the best opportunity to participate, there is a non-refundable cancellation fee of $10, with the balance refunded if you cancel at least 7 calendar days before the class will be held. If the class is cancelled by the instructor or the CNP program, registrants will get a full refund.
