[vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”624028″] Step off the beaten path into a world of wild wonders while sipping, snacking, and reconnecting with nature’s misunderstood gifts.Explore Oxbow’s vibrant forest trails and farm fields as you reimagine weeds—not as nuisances, but as nourishment. In this immersive workshop, facilitated by Rosa Vissers of Hildegard Ferments & Botanicals, you’ll learn to see so-called “weeds” in a whole new light—as healers, snacks, and allies in your garden. Walk, forage, taste, and brew tea from plants you once overlooked. Perfect for nature lovers, gardeners, and curious folks, this experience invites you to reconnect with the land and rediscover what’s been growing around you all along.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner row_inner_height_percent=”0″ back_color=”color-xsdn” overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ uncode_shortcode_id=”191071″ back_color_type=”uncode-palette”][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=”100″ gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ border_color=”color-jevc” border_style=”solid” shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1/1″ uncode_shortcode_id=”142427″ border_color_type=”uncode-palette”][vc_separator sep_color=”” uncode_shortcode_id=”727146″][vc_empty_space empty_h=”1″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”840515″] Register via Eventbrite[/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][vc_empty_space empty_h=”1″][vc_separator sep_color=”” uncode_shortcode_id=”727146″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space empty_h=”2″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”156181″][/vc_column_text][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”159972″] You’ll Experience:Fresh Perspectives – Rethink what makes a plant a “weed” by exploring how context shapes our understanding of the natural world.Foraging & Identification Practice – Learn to confidently identify edible and medicinal weeds, and understand when and how to harvest them responsibly.Hands-On Harvesting – Walk, gather, and prepare wild plants during an interactive exploration through Oxbow’s fields and forests.Herbal & Medicinal Wisdom – Discuss the healing properties of common wild plants and how they’ve been used for wellness across cultures.Ecological Insight – Discover how these resilient plants can enhance your garden’s health, support biodiversity, and play vital roles in local ecosystems.Outdoor Learning – Step beyond pages, screens, and walls into a living landscape where taste, scent, touch, and story guide your learning.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”211600″][/vc_column_text][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”114410″] About Your Facilitator:Rosa Vissers is the co-owner of Hildegard Ferments & Botanicals, the smallest brewery and apothecary in Seattle.
