Wonder by the Wayside: Indigenous, Edible, and Medicinal Plants of Southern Oregon by Roland Smith

FREE ADMISSION – 1757 Ashland St., Ashland, OR. One mile west of I-5 Exit 14

In age of technology and industry, most of us have lost our connection with nature we see it as scenery, a picture a, post just the background to our busy lives. Sure, we all do things to try to reconnect like walk in the park go for hikes ,take a nice long drive observing the Flora and the Fauna. But do any of us really know what magic and wonder grows alongside of us?!

There’s a certain curiosity that arises in all of us. Something of the soul I believe wanting to reconnect. The aim of this lecture is to hopefully invoke wonder and curiosity that resides all of us.

Exploring some of the native plants and herbs in southern Oregon,I came to the realization anyone with a smartphone can go out, explore for themselves, and get enthralled with the magic by our wayside. Reconnecting the soul and the body to Mother Nature

I personally forage and work with the medicinal properties of most of these plants. I would love to share the opportunity to ignite that spark for others by sharing this information and empowering others with knowledge.

Roland Smith, educator & owner at the Witch and the Alchemist Apothecary in Ashland, OR. The apothecary is all about connecting to spirit, connecting to nature, connecting to oneself, remembering again what it’s like to see magic in the world we live in, to believe that beyond the state in which we view life is something far more miraculous. To provide the means by which wellness & enlightenment can prosper.
