Medicinal Herbs and Wildflowers of Early Spring

Join herbalist, Erin Piorier, at a farm in the beautiful Cannon Valley for a Spring day of exploring the forest, gathering herbs, medicine making and herbal education.

We’ll spend our morning hiking into pristine Minnesota forest to meet the beautiful Spring Ephemerals—those wildflowers that only show their faces before the leaves on the trees burst out. We will see many beautiful flowers and useful medicinals including Bloodroot, Trillium, Wild Ginger, Blue Cohosh and many more.

 Our afternoon will be spent making and exploring herbal medicine.  Experienced medicine makers may harvest and prepare many of the herbs abundant on the farm.  Beginners will be guided through the process and will also make medicine to take home.  A short lecture will cover the lymphatic system—structure, function and symptoms that indicate imbalance or disease.  We’ll introduce many herbs that effectively and gently treat the lymphatic system.  Several of these herbs are readily available for harvest in the early spring.
