Program       NOTE NEW MEETING LOCATION         January 24, 2012 Los Altos Lutheran Church 460 South El Monte Avenue, Los Altos, CA 94022   1:30 p.m. See here for Map               DARREN HUCKLE   Teacher and herbalist     Medicinal Plants from Bay Area Gardens       Whether it is known by the gardener or not, all gardens grow a plethora of medicinal plants. Medicinal plants are planted as cut flowers, trees, culinary herbs, California natives and then magically turn into effective medicines when the gardener learns how to safely prepare and apply these plant allies. Self planting "weeds" are also often powerful medicines that grow themselves. This class will be an introduction to the age old tradition of herbal medicine and will discuss a handful of common garden medicinals and how to use them for common maladies.   Feel free to bring a few sprigs of any plant that you would like to learn how to use.       Darren Huckle L.Ac is a Herbalist, Licensed Acupuncturist and avid gardener from Santa Cruz. For over 15 years Darren has been studying, teaching, practicing herbal medicine and holistic health strategies. Darren loves to teach "Garden Based Herbalism", the art of caring for oneself and family through the use of medicinal plants and trees that grow in Bay Area landscapes.
