Spring Plant ID Walk at I-TAL Acres
April 16, 2023 : 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Most people can easily identify 100’s of corporate logos, but not 10 plants in their own bio-region. Time to reconnect and rebuild our relationship with the natural world, get to know the plants and trees around you. Say ‘hello’ and ‘thank you’, ask permission to harvest, be mindful of our interdependence. Join Ed & Maya Skopal at I-TAL Acres Medicinal Herb Farm & Apothecary for stories, laughs, and a mindful walk of our woodlands, grasslands, and cultivated gardens pointing out various herbs/plants/trees and their medicinal folk uses.
About the instructors: Ed and Maya Skopal of I-TAL Acres are skilled herbalists and permaculturists. They operate a medicinal garden and apothecary at their farm in Floyd County, VA where they make a large array of tinctures, salves, and other products ( even hot sauce!). You can find their products at the Floyd EcoVillage Farmstore, Floyd Farmers Market, and directly at their farm! Learn more at https://italacres.com/?page_id=1072
