Discover Alberta's wild bounty with our Herb Club!

Learn to identify, prepare, and utilize local medicinal and edible plants for both culinary and wellness purposes. Each session focuses on practical plant identification, culinary uses, herbal actions, and medicine making. Please bring a clean jar (approximately 1/2 cup) to each class. This is a free program, but a suggested donation of $10 helps us cover ingredient costs.

We meet typically every second Thursday of the month at the Mayerthorpe Public Library from 7-9pm.
