Fresh Pond Herb Walk
Steph Zabel (facing camera in photo) of Flowerfolk Herbal Apothecary shared with us her knowledge of the uses of common plants that grow as weeds on the Reservation and in all of our neighborhoods. Some are medicinal, like common and English plantain, both of which can be used to stop itching. Many, such as dandelion greens, oxalis and purslane, can be eaten in salads. Others can be made into tea, including wild violet, rose and linden flowers.
