Herbal Collective

Dora kindly invites everyone interested in sharing knowledge about plants and their various uses to join these monthly discussions. She wishes to catalogue the resources available on the island in terms of locally-produced herbal medicines and to make these widely available to the residents of Galiano. Information-sharing is first on the agenda, and practical information about how to grow medicinal plants and craft your own tinctures, decoctions, unguents, salves, etc. will be generously shared.

The 5th Annual Nettlefest Community Potluck will be happening on March 17th.

The regular Herbal collective is always open to new members and is meeting on Friday, April 6th at 11:00am at Dora's House, 1480 Cottage Way

Healing Foods and Herbal Collective - by James Beaufait
Our first meeting, 3 Mar 2010, was held at Dora FitzGerald’s house (1480 cottage way) where nearly twenty folks interested in all aspects of healing foods and herbs gathered.

Next meeting Friday, March 2nd at 11am. Each one of our meetings is entirely unique and evolves out of the interests that people bring to it. Although topics and concerns vary, the underlying theme is always deepening our connection with nature.
We will be checking on the olive cuttings I started from the Olive branches I brought back from Tinos. – Dora FitzGerald
