For the past seven years, I have had the honor to help coordinate the Herbal Hoedown. It’s a wonderful herbal conference in the Finger Lakes, which brings together a whole spectrum of people, from herbalists to the phyto-curious ~ those who want to dip their toe into the world of our green allies. The day is filled with classes and walks; we even have classes for kids and an herbal market, where you can buy a whole range of products and plants. This allows everyone to fully immerse themselves and broaden their knowledge base. I am always impressed with the class proposals, as we always receive an excellent assortment of diverse topics for all levels.

I’ll be teaching  “The Golden Answer,” which explores the amazing world of Goldenrod. An herb with so much more healing power than you ever knew. We’ll discuss its abilities to ameliorate allergy symptoms, support the urinary system, and soothe pain. And that’s just for starters.

I hope you will be able to join us for the 8th Annual Herbal Hoedown on June 2, 2018 at the beautiful Six Circles Farm on the shores of Seneca Lake in Lodi, NY. Space is limited so you better pre-register today. For more details go to our Facebook page ~ Herbal Hoedown.

Bring the whole family!

Exploring Goldenrod

As I walked our new land the other day, I noticed the tips of the Goldenrod (Solidago spp.) were starting to glow with the promise of their brilliant illumination throughout the fall. The mere sight of them always makes me giddy and gives me such joy. Not only is Goldenrod’s sheer presence marvelous and soothing to the soul, it possesses numerous healing properties. A few year’s ago I started working with Goldenrod to ameliorate my allergies. After I started to delve deeper, I found allergies were just the tip of the iceberg. As I worked with it more I found it beneficial to almost every body system: respiratory, urinary, musculo-skeleton, digestive, cardio-vascular, nervous, and immune, along with soothing wounds, colds & flu plus being high in antioxidants. That’s when I realized I couldn’t keep it to myself and needed to share Goldenrod with as many people as possible. Sure, I can write about it but I think it’s always important to work with a plant in order to really appreciate it. So, I developed the class, “The Golden Answer.”

Well, folks, it’s time for another class. Please join me on Saturday, September 2, 2017, where we’ll explore the amazing world of Goldenrod and discuss the countless healing powers of this Golden Beauty. I hope you will join us and learn about its abilities to ameliorate allergy symptoms, support the urinary system, and soothe pain. And that’s just for starters. You will also learn to make a tincture to bring home.

Space is limited, so please pre-register at www.knowyouroots.com.

I can’t wait to share Goldenrod with you.
