Curious about creating tasty wild sodas? Looking good for sampling these beauties at my #SummerSolstice #PlantRamble June 25th! 💚⁣
⁣
We’ll spend the morning celebrating abundance, meeting flora friends, learning sustainable #foraging skills, and tasting wild treats. 🌺⁣
⁣
This will be my last public walk till late autumn and space is limited so invite a friend and register soon, dear ones! 💕⁣
⁣
Tending these wild sodas is comforting—and harvesting the elderflowers helped settle my agitated mind, nervous system, and spirit. 🌿⁣
⁣
Wanna guess the #goodiments? Big jar: #elderflowers, #lemonbalm, #blackberries. Quart jar: elderflowers, #blueberries, #holybasil. And love and magic of course! 🤩⁣

yesterday’s lovely wild spring ramble! we enjoyed #foraging for salad together with #violets, #chickweed, #wildlettuce, tender #mulberry leaves, #dandelion, common #mallow, #oxalis and more. kelly’s brightly colored outfit complemented the wild flowers sprinkled on top (third slide). 💖⁣
⁣
enjoy our plant “quiz” while remembering the need to be 100% certain of identification when harvesting, including knowing which part is edible and/or medicinal, when they are harvested, and how to safely prepare. 🌱⁣
⁣
look over more sustainable foraging guidelines and other resources on my website. and best of all: get out to learn in person with knowledgable folks—my next walk will be announced soon via newsletter. 🌿⁣
⁣
other #goodiments we sampled: divine #hickorynut milk, uplifting #mockorange blossom cold infusion, super tasty wild spring greens infused vinegar, and the homemade dressing for our salad (with #wildgarlic, #beebalm, #southernchervil, #cleavers). 💚⁣
