Tryon Life Community Farm

Native educator and herbalist, Judy BlueHorse Skelton, shares traditional uses of native plants for food, medicine, craft and ceremony to nourish, heal, and regenerate personal, family and community well-being.

With TLC Farm and Tryon Creek Forest as our classroom, we’ll explore the gifts each season offers and learn how to integrate ancient knowledge and contemporary nutritional/lifestyle research into our daily lives. This is the third in a four-part seasonal series, but each class is also a stand-alone experience.

Drawing from the Medicine Wheel and indigenous gathering cycles and calendars, participants will develop a seasonal living plan that resonates with the rhythms of our region.

This seasonal workshop will focus on the coming of Spring, including:
Plant walks to identify and meet our Plant relations;
Medicine-making activities focused on spring tonic greens, including nettles & chickweed; and
Permaculture approaches to herbal gardening.

Sliding scale, $30 -$50, for the 3-hour workshop, with a $10 deposit..  Herbal tea will be served, and bring your own snack/lunch as needed. To register please email workshops@tryonfarm.org or call (503)245-3847.
