HONESDALE, PA - Nathaniel Whitmore will be offering a seven class series on botany and medicinal herbalism this summer at the Honesdale Wellness Center. The classes will be organized by botanical families (instead of by therapeutic properties of plants or body systems) in order to focus more on the plants themselves and to learn about botany in addition to herbalism. There will be seven classes of the following subjects:
~ Pine, Cedar, Ginkgo, and Ephedra Families (Naked Seed Division)
~ Rose, Bean, Carrot, and Ginseng Families (Rose Subclass)
~ Aster, Nightshade, Mint, Honeysuckle, and Figwort Families (Aster Subclass)
~ Buttercup, Poppy, and Barberry Families (Magnolia Subclass) & Buckwheat Family (Pink Subclass)
~ Witch Hazel, Hemp, Nettle, Walnut, Beech, and Birch Families (Witch Hazel Subclass)
~ St. John's Wort, Mallow, Violet, Willow, Mustard, Heath Families (Mallow Subclass)
~ Grass, Ginger, Sedge, Cattail, Arum, and Lily Families (Monocot Class)
The classes will be held on Tuesday evenings at 6:30, but this will opened up for discussion over the next couple weeks. If this day of the week or time does not work for you, please speak up. We will do our best to work with everyone's schedule. I would like to start the classes on June 16th, which is a Tuesday, and then continue every Tuesday with a couple breaks. Which would be June 16th, 23rd, July 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th, and August 11th.
The classes will be held at The Honesdale Wellness Center at 602 Church Street in Honesdale, PA. The classes are by donation. (The donation is voluntary, but a suggested amount is $5 - 20 depending on your income level.
Contact Nathaniel Whitmore at (570) 224-0264 or (845) 887-4808 for more information. Or e-mail him at wathakes@gmail.com
You are welcome to come to as few or as many classes as you would like. There are obvious connecting threads that will be explored throughout the series, but each class is also a stand-alone presentation.
