Wild Plant Walks

During our wild plant walks we will learn to identify various edible and medicinal plants, as well as discussing the folklore surrounding various plants. We will also learn how to harvest sustainably, how to treat the plants we harvest, and how to offer thanksgiving to both the plants for giving their lives for us, and to God for creating the plants. Lastly, we will pray that God increases the fruits of the earth, in this place and in all the world.

What to expect on a Wild Plant Walk:

As with everything, we will begin the walk with prayer and a short discussion about the plants, God, and our place within the cosmos. We will then walk slowly looking at the plants that fill our environment and discuss their uses, and their place within the ecosystem. We will taste some of the plants, and harvest some. When we do harvest plants, we offer a short prayer of thanksgiving and make an offering of Holy Water to the plants, asking that God bless and increase them.

All are welcome to join us for our Wild Worship Gatherings, as we seek to worship the Creator, in and through His creation.

FAQ – Wild Plant Walks

How safe is foraging? Foraging is generally very safe, but there are a few guidelines to follow.

  • Never put anything in your mouth unless it has been positively identified
  • Once positively identified, consume only a VERY small amount of the plant the first time (you have no way of knowing if you will be allergic to a new plant)
  • Always listen to your guide, and don’t eat anything unless he tells you too.
  • If you are interested in studying wild crafting and foraging more seriously, learn all the poisonous plants first.\

Can I bring my children on the Wild Plant Walk? Yes, but you will be responsible for their safety and well being, as well as their behavior. Only you know how mature your children are and if they can handle a walk like this.
