What it’s all about?



Medicinal plants are all around us, with their gifts ready to be shared…if
you know what to look for. Join Niraj Ray, founder of Cultivate the City,
and learn how to utilize a diversity of plants for both food and medicine.
Some of these amazing plants grow wild and are native to our area, while
others will require a little more care to flourish in our homes and
gardens. Participants will learn plant identification techniques, growing
and harvesting methods as well as tips on how to cook, preserve or use them
(think salves, tinctures, infusions and teas.) Some of the plants we will
discuss include: Indian mint, Vick’s plants, Echinacea, tulsi, mint, aloe,
Moringa, and much more! You will get a chance to try/taste some of the
products we make from what we grow or forage right here in Washington, DC,
and each participant will get the option to take home their own medicinal
plant and fabric planter bag.



Presenter(s):
