W**d Walk and Nettle Pesto Making with Spoonful Herbals

Learn how to sustainably harvest nettles and then process them into a nutrient dense nettle pesto to take home.

Spoonful Herbals is the collaborative effort of community herbalists and educators Katherine Elmer and Kara Buchanan. Spoonful offers an annual Herbal CSA, which includes an herbal self-care package distributed at the end of the growing season: each providing 10-15 varied formulas, with detailed educational guidance about the plant ingredients and their uses.  Spoonful also teaches an online Winter Community Course in Therapeutic Herbalism, and facilitates a 6-month Community Herbalism Apprenticeship program where students learn how to identify, harvest, and create remedies from wild harvested and locally-grown medicinal herbs. Spoonful’s Herb Mob program engages volunteers to bring locally harvested (gleaned) medicinal plants into our community from local organic farms and green spaces such as Shelburne Farms. www.spoonfulherbals.org.
