Wild Botanicals is a series of classes created on the basis of the harvest season in Snoqualmie Valley. Classes are in-person, outside and within the ecosystem of the plant(s). Students will learn botanical ID, look alikes, growth habits and harvesting ethics, plant processing and preparations. We will work with both wild and cultivated plants with edible and/or medicinal uses based on the class theme. Students are encouraged to bring their own in-field medicine making materials to experience the full process of field to kitchen medicine.
Tree Resins & Sap Medicine
“Resins protect trees through water management and creating a physical barrier, healing and sealing, while providing antiseptic protection.
Sap transports nutrients, heals and defends, while helping trees adapt to environmental conditions.”
As the weather warms, the sap begins to flow and resin softens. Now is the time to capture some of this medicinal and nutritional potency. Join us with the deciduous and evergreen trees (cottonwood buds, big leaf maple sap, douglas fir and pine resins) and learn about the differences in their sap and resins. Learn ways of using them for external and internal medicine while taking home wild harvests to add to your personal apothecary.
