Native Medicinal Plants
of Appalachia

 

This course is an elective course and provides 4 hours toward the completion of the Certificate in Native Plants program.

Learn about the botany of medicinal native plants of Appalachia, including how they are related (their families), how to identify them, where to look for them (their habitats), and their medicinal benefits. Also discussed will be ethical and sustainable harvest techniques and considerations, and various methods of processing. There will be plenty of time at the end for questions and answers.
