A lovely beach walk with Indigenous Métis herbalist LoriAnn Bird as your guide, connecting you to the ancestral wisdom of wild edible and medicinal plants of coastal BC.

Lori speaks to the nourishment, healing, and history of our “plant teachers,” sharing her guidance on exploring, gathering, and reclaiming these long-revered plants as food and medicine.

Walk with her and she will tell you stories of our plant siblings. She’ll tell you which edible plants foliage, flowers, and fronds from herbs, “weeds,” and wildflowers are good to eat covering both native and introduced species of plants.

  • Evergreen tips from spruces, pines, and firs
  • Hawthorn berries, leaves, and flowers
  • Plantain seeds and foliage
  • Oswego tea leaves and blooms
  • Slippery elm bark
  • Motherwort flowers, stems, and leaves
  • Black cohosh roots and rhizomes
  • Marshmallow root
  • Cottonwood buds and bark
  • Any edible plants we find on the walk will be discussed.

Let’s reclaim our natural rhythms and connections to the earth we walk on that is essential to our health and well-being, both as individuals and as a community. One simple way to do that is by appreciating, respecting, and seeking to understand the plants around us.
