Tiny Diner Kids Camp: Herbs, Weeds, and Edible Flowers!
Even in the city, edible and medicinal plants surround us every day. During this class, kids and their families will learn about the plants, weeds and flowers they see in their yard, parks, playgrounds and while walking down the street. We will go over which ones are edible and which are helpful. We will also cover foraging safety and how to harvest kindly. A short discussion will be followed by a tasting tour of the Tiny Diner's garden and some plant-related fun activities! Megan Trehey is joyously overwhelmed by the beauty of the natural world. A forever student of the plants, she is dedicated to learning and growing the medicine of her bioregion as a way to cultivate healing within her community. With a background in early childhood education, she has extensive experience gardening with kids and families and has witnessed firsthand how vital it is for them to experience the wonder and magic of engaging with the earth and growing their own food. She has several teachers and mentors to thank in igniting her passion for this work, including Kathryn Jensen, Johanna O'Tigham, Linda Buturian and Lise Wolff, with whom she completed a nine month herbal apprenticeship. She is continuing her studies in herbalism with the Green Wisdom School of Natural and Botanical medicine this summer. You can find Megan working and playing with Land by Hand, an ecological design, build and education organization that utilizes the principles of permaculture. landbyhand.org
Clare Gardner Nieto grew up roaming the woods and fields with her mother, a self-taught naturalist and expert gardener, who taught her from an early age the names and signatures of plants and the knowing of the natural world. Clare has studied herbalism with Lise Wolff, Liz Johnson and Matthew Wood, and flower essence therapy with Martin Bulgerin in Minneapolis and the Flower Essence Society in California. She is passionate about sharing her knowledge with kids so that they too get to know the wonder and magic of the natural world around them. She practices herbalism and flower essence therapy out of her home in Northeast Minneapolis and can be found on the web at www.claregardnernieto.com.
