A couple weeks ago we collaborated with the Farm at UCSC to host an herb walk discussing some of the herbs that are used in our formulas. Our Educational Specialist, Jasmine Wiest, along with David Shaw, founder of Santa Cruz Permaculture & UCSC Common Ground Center as well as having been a professor of Agroecology since 2004; and Cameron Salomon, founder of Kindred Herbs lead the walk.
They covered a number of our more popular herbs including cleavers, fennel, lemon verbena, oregano, chamomile, lavender, and fever few as well as others. Many of the common kitchen herbs are incredibly useful and flexible and can be used for a variety of issues, which is why maintaining a small culinary herb garden can have so many unexpected benefits, aside from delicious food!
It turned out to be a gorgeous day and everyone enjoyed the walk. In addition to discussing how useful herbs are in our lives, Jasmine Wiest talked about BHP’s liver supporting formulas and David talked about the Agroecology department.
