Meet Your Local Plant Allies

When we learn to identify the plants growing in our own backyards, forests, and fields, something shifts. We stop seeing “weeds” and start seeing allies, healers, and indicators of a living, breathing ecosystem. That connection is at the heart of everything we do as stewards of this land.

Step into the lush, green gardens of Hannah Morano, community herbalist and founder of Sweet Birch Herbals in Ashfield, MA, for a hands-on wander through the world of local medicinal plants. This isn’t your average classroom — it’s a living, breathing, fragrant experience right among the herbs themselves.

Hannah will introduce you to the local plant heroes thriving in our landscape — both the cultivated and wild plants — and show you how to weave their power into your everyday home life with simple, accessible recipes.

This workshop is hands-on and includes:

• Guided Garden Walk — see, smell, and touch the plants…
