It will outline some primary medicinal uses for those trees\, and compare those uses with traditional Mi’kmaq preparations and uses for native tree species of Nova Scotia and Atlantic Canada.\n\n\nBIOGRAPHY: Laurie Lacey is a naturalist\, writer\, painter\, and medicine maker of mixed ancestry\, including Mi’kmaq and Irish. He is the author of Mi’kmaq Medicines and Medicine Walk\, and has been involved with Mi’kmaq and aboriginal medicines for the past forty-one years.

Don’t Pull that Weed!!!\nMedicinal and Culinary Uses for Garden Volunteers (Aka Weeds)\nOren Hercz\nWhile garden weeds are generally considered a nuisance\, look again. Many of them are either superfoods bursting with nutritional value\, or medicines capable of preventing and treating common health problems—or both! Getting to know the medicinal weeds in your garden is a cost free and empowering way to be healthy while deepening your connection with nature at the same time. Trade in shopping in the supplement aisle for a look at the bounty in your own backyard!\n\nBIOGRAPHY: Oren Hercz has been a practicing Clinical Herbalist\, supporting people with chronic health issues\, for the last 4 years. He is also co-owner of the newly created Briar Hill Herbal CSA. His journey with herbs started 10 years ago when he wondered if stories were true that weeds growing in his garden could be used for healing. That question led him to several years of herbal apprenticeship\, then professional study with leading North American herbalists\, before opening his own practice. Oren believes accessing plant medicine is our birthright as human beings and loves sharing his excitement and knowledge of the plant world.\n\n\nThe Culinary Uses of Medicinal Plants\nMegan Tardif-Woolgar\nMegan is delighted to share her knowledge of culinary herbs\, helping individuals create potent (and delicious!) medicine from back yard plant allies. Megan is excited to discuss different methods of preparation and delivery\, including oils\, vinegars and pestos!\n\n\n\nBIOGRAPHY: Megan Tardif-Woolgar is a Registered Medical Herbalist with the Canadian Herbalists’ Association of BC.

Learn the basic methods of stripping away the heavy lead shell of a plant in order to reveal its true essential nature of gold. \n\nBIOGRAPHY: Daniel has been on the herbal path for over 10 years; his green journey started with plant teachers in his late teens that helped guide him to a more balanced\, natural and holistic way of living. Since then he has fortified his knowledge through direct experience with nature\, self study and more recently formal training from the East West School of Planetary Herbology. Now a practicing herbalist with a small clinic and dispensary in Halifax\, Daniel draws from the global systems of Ayurveda\, Traditional Chinese Medicine\, Western Herbalism\, Shamanism and Spagyrics (Plant Alchemy). \n\n\nNutrition for Plants\nJayme Melrose and Dr. Jason Hofman\nWhat do plants need to be healthy? How do we grow nutritious\, healthy plants? What’s needed for high-quality herbs? We love dirt. Combining the schools of bio-dynamics\, permaculture\, organics and nutrient-density\, we’ll share with you our understanding of how to nourish the soil for optimum plant health.\n\nBIOGRAPHIES: Jayme Melrose is the Project Coordinator at Common Roots Urban Farm. She’s been working with plants and people for the last 11 years\, working to cross-pollinate lawns into ecologically resilient food systems. Dr. Jason Hofman is an Iowa farmboy with a pHD in bio-chemistry. He’s been a student of bio-dynamic agriculture for 30+ years\, worked and studied with Dr. Elaine Ingham’s SoilFoodWeb lab in Oregan\, and is currently the beloved CompostMeister at Common Roots Urban Farm.\n\nHerbal Mead Making\nJason Remai and Chase Sutherland\nJoin mead makers Jason Remai and Chase Sutherland on the journey of mead making from a brief history of the oldest known fermented (alcoholic) beverage to modern day tips\, tricks and equipment. Come for a taste test while learning how to make the world’s oldest alcoholic elixir.\n\nBIOGRAPHY: Jason Remai loves to speak to plants. He finds beauty and balance through observation\, ingestion and communication with edible and medicinal plants. He has no accreditations and some formal training. His near complete inability to achieve results through text based research or reading has bolstered his ability to navigate the oral tradition. This strength coupled with a hunger for union with the plant world have brought him to many teachers.\n\n\nMake Your Own Sunscreen and Tick Repellent\nOsha Mae \n\nWe will have fun making a herbal sunscreen with 100 % natural ingredients  & discuss the natural options for protecting the skin before and after sun exposure. There will also be a talk and demonstration on tick repellents.\n\nBIOGRAPHY: Laura Mae’s interest in plant medicine led her to study Herbalism & Aromatherapy.

In recent years she has started to more formally study herbalism\, taking Savayda Jarone’s year-long herb course.
