| in the new class room for our lectures |
about two weeks ago was the start of the new 240 hour medicinal and edible botany course offered here at RDI. we will be diving into a year long, once a month curriculum of native plant recognition, medicine making, and field trips to the 4 main bio-regions of California- the Eastern Sierra mountains, the trinity/Klamath region in the north, the southern deserts of the Mojave and Sonora, and the Coast Ranges regions where we are now on the lovely unusually warm Pt Reyes Seashore. Tellur Fenner of
Blue Wind Botanicals will be our fearless guide, and indeed he is a wealth of knowledge. the first part of the course was just a brief intro to bio-regions, poisonous plants, and where we will be visiting through out the year long course. we also made a little field trip up the watersheds of Mt. Tamalpais overlooking Mill Valley and the grand San Fransisco bay.
more to come after all our "home fun" reading before our next meeting. stay tuned. for now, enjoy some photos taken on our little field trip.
