We found 20 edible and medicinal plants across 2 acres of land on Sassafras Gap Farm 🤯, one of Highlands - Cashiers Land Trust properties on the ancestral territories of the Cherokee people. Thank you Hope for helping us better understand our plant neighbors and build a reciprocal relationship with the rich and diverse life that makes up Western North Carolina. We munched on some wood sorel and sassafras leaves. Learned about the medicinal properties of yarrow, black walnut, garlic grass, strawberry leaves, tulip poplar and mountain mint. Thank you to the new community members who joined this foraging program. We love connecting with y’all outside.
