Medicinal Plants in Your Garden

Plants sustain this planet, providing food, shelter, energy and medicine. Human history is entirely built upon the success of plants; even today many people still depend upon plants as their primary source for medicine. Jeanine Davis' research and extension programs are dedicated to sustainable and organic production of medicinal and culinary herbs, vegetables and specialty crops. She will work with us to introduce a roster of medicinal plants that can be grown in your garden and discuss the research and use of each. The participants will have the opportunity to propagate a woodland botanical plant to take home and make a botanical product.
