SUMMARY:Using Colonizers: Plantain
DESCRIPTION:Let’s take a look at using the plant Plantain! \nThis little groundcover genus\, Plantago\, is also known as ‘White Man’s Foot’. While it is not as invasive as other species I have focused on\, it is plentiful and easily harvested. During this workshop\, we will also be making salve using mainly plantain\, oil\, and beeswax. This is useful on dry skin and minor injuries! \nThe location of the training itself will be indoors at Bark’s Office at 351 NE 18th Avenue\, Portland\, OR. 97232. This event will have classroom style learning so bring pencil and paper. Gender-neutral restrooms will be available. \n‘Using Colonizers’ is Bark’s class series focusing on using invasive species as much as we can. This not only removes harmful species from Pacific Northwest spaces\, but gives us tools to use the removed plants instead of just killing them. Have a craft you’d like to teach? Have a backyard filled with invasives and would like to host? Contact me at Haley@bark-out.org \nRegistration Required \nSliding Scale $0-$20

SUMMARY:Principles of Photography (A 5-session Immersive Course)
