An online class, live on zoom Sunday June 2nd at 10 am EST. This class will also be recorded for anyone who can’t make it live.

Let’s talk about “invasive” plants. What are they? How do we classify them? And how do we start to shift the narrative around them into one of kinship and healing? We are going to dig into all of it—the histories of some of these plants, the common ecological ideologies that surround them, and some of the ways people are working to challenge the narrative of moral dichotomies that shrouds the conversation. Japanese Knotweed, Multiflora Rose, Japanese Barberry, Purple Loosestrife, even Dandelion and Burdock and other common perniciously weedy things! This is a class on practicality, on political and cultural reflection, on ancestral remediation and reparation, centering the medicinal virtues of these plants and ways to incorporate them into our herbal practices as bioregionally-minded herbalists.
