August 17th: A Living Monograph on Sumac

Sometimes the medicine is so obvious that we don't realize we're looking at it. Sumac is a well known wild shrub. This is one of the first wild edibles that I learnt about. Let's see why it's one of Mathew Wood's favourite medicinals.
Join Blair Richards-Koeslag (Chartered Herbalist), at Earth Haven Farm for this day long deep dive into Sumac. Come learn from the plant directly in a practice of cultivating observation, harvest and prepare medicine, and take a deep dive into research about the ancient and modern uses of this plant, and explore it's stories in myth and folklore. Hope to see you there!
