World Herbs Seminar:

Culinary and Medicinal Herbs from Mexico to India
Presented by Darren Butler, Kellee Matsushita, and Ecoworkshops.com
Saturday, November 3
The LA Arboretum Palm Room
8:45am – 4:30pm

You may change your outlook on weeds from despair to delight as you
discover the deep healing (not to mention powerful nutrition) of many
common weeds and wild edibles. Participants will sample teas, extracts and
salves, take home ideas and recipes to begin an herbal journey right away.
Some of the finest herbs grow unexpectedly right in our own garden;
dandelion for the liver, plantain for skin healing, the dreaded stinging
nettle with more iron than any other plant source. You will be introduced
to the medicinal uses of traditional Indian foods, such as tumeric as an
antiseptic, or licorice root to cure sore throats. In addition,
participants will learn about commonly found California Native plants as
used by the Chumash people. Other plants to be discussed include Amaranth,
(used as a red dye by the Hopi) Mayo/Yoeme Basil, and
Tarahumara Chia of the Southwest.

The World Herbs Series by EcoWorkshops.com celebrates our diverse
international heritage by bringing together expert speakers on specially
selected topics for a day of educational workshops. Join us in learning
about the cultivation, preparation, use, folklore, and cultural traditions
for culinary and medicinal herbs from around the world. Sessions will
include practical methods and information for growing herbs in Southern
California.
