To Learn More About the Afternoon:
Wild Edibles & Healthy Plants – Walk & Talk with Laurel Hobden & Annie 
Warmke

Laurel Hobden is one of our favorite go-to people when we need advice or 
herbal plant support. That’s the reason Annie invited her to share her 
wealth of knowledge, and her love of nature with a walk and talk at Blue 
Rock Station.

Participants will walk the land at Blue Rock Station to discover what’s 
growing, discuss foraging & plants with significant health benefits. 
Everyone will have an opportunity to sample herbal tea, pesto & a 
foraged salad (ingredients gathered on the walk) at the end of the 
adventure.

Laurel Hobden’s herbal path began when she was diagnosed with breast 
cancer over 30 years ago. She opted to do a medicinal plant approach 
instead of chemotherapy. Laurel has shared her herbal knowledge giving 
presentations at the Zanesville Metropolitan Library & Blue Rock 
Station. Last year her urban gardens, where she grows over 30 
“medicinal” plants, were featured on Simply Living’s Sustainable 
Columbus Living & Garden Tour.
What  participants will learn:
How to identify at least five important herbal plants to promote health.
How to use the five plants in a variety of ways to support health and 
wellness.
How to forage for plants.
How to make a basic herbal tea.
How to make a foraged salad
How to make a simple pesto.
What to bring:
Sturdy close-toed shoes, an Easter-type basket for foraging (don’t worry 
we have plenty if you don’t have one), and something from your ancestors 
or land to share. Don’t forget your good mood.
No smoking, drinking or drugging (cussing as always is expected every 
once in awhile).

Everyone participating MUST be vaccinated.  The goal is to make sure we 
have fun with no one harmed in the process.
Cost: $35 includes meal, instruction
