Join us for our free class Weeds for Wellness. Come on out as we explore 7 backyard weeds and the bounty of health they have to offer. Bring your questions about everything you ever wanted to know about Dandelion, Ragweed, Nettles, Chickweed, Cleavers, Bee Balm, and Shepherds Purse. Also a pen and paper… you will want to take notes.
