First Nations peoples and other indigenous groups know the value of plant-based medicine, and a Whitby area workshop series is set to wrap up with an exploration of the species that call a local conservation area home.
“Traditional Medicines in the Modern World” is a four-part series of events that explores how native species found a role in maintaining human health. Those who are interested are welcome to register for the final session, even if they did not participate in the others, and while there is no attendance fee, only a limited number of spaces are available.
The function will be facilitated by Joseph Pitawanakwat, who is the founder of Creators Garden. He will share his knowledge of how plants have been used to cure or prevent illness, and as the activity will take place outdoors, everyone is reminded to come dressed for the weather. The outing will last for approximately three hours, and everyone will be able to brush up on their plant identification skills.
People who take part in a horticultural workshop like this may appreciate receiving basic identification guides to help them identify flora in the field. These may be produced by area Print shops.
This deep dive into the connection between First Nations peoples and the plants that call the region home will be held on September 20th. It will begin at 1:00 pm.Get a Free Quote for Print
