This class is about how you can grow and harvest edible native plants. David has been farming his land (and a nearby public plot) in Washington, Maine for many years, and his PowerPoint will show the native plants he farms with - such as wild highbush blueberries, American chestnut, Viburnums and dozens more - while he provides a discussion of the ecological implications.

In this class, you will learn how to harvest calendula flowers in order to make salve and lip balm. Jacinda will also demonstrate how to harvest a few other plants, but calendula will be the focus. She will then demonstrate making salve and lip balm with already prepared materials. You will leave class with 1 tin of salve and 2 lip balms.
