Herbalist – Alex Klein

I lead classes, hands-on workshops, and plant walks throughout our region on herbal medicine, foraging, botany, and all sorts of plant related topics. I also offer private walks and botanical surveys for landholders interested in identifying flora and opportunities for cultivation of medicinal/edible species.
