About Three Little Birds Herbs
​
I am a home herbalist with a passion for wild foods and medicinal herbs and I love to share my enthusiasm for incorporating both wild and cultivated plants into our lives for better health, nutrition, beauty and joy. Although I make some herbal products for sale my main focus is teaching others to make their own. Click on the SERVICES icon for a listing of current classes, weed walks and herb talks.

Lovely in the garden, brilliant in salad and powerful healing in a tea or tincture.
Learn how to use common culinary herbs and spices during colds and flu season.
Widely available wild plants that have myriad uses are often overlooked. Pines make a tea rich in vitamins A and C, as well as flour, candy and a vegetable from various parts.
Learn to use a variety of easily grown or inexpensively purchased fresh herbs to expand your culinary repertoire and maximize nutrition.
A variety of wild greens chopped and drizzled with wild Elderberry vinaigrette dressing served with garden fresh peas, cucumbers and Nasturtiums. Learn to identify and enjoy wild edibles.
Learn to grow a variety of culinary and medicinal herbs from seed, cuttings or using other cultivation techniques in your own home garden or containers.
Learn to identify and appreciate the many uses for commonly maligned "nuisance weeds". Thistle, for example, offers a delicious food in the young greens and stems, which if used more widely would result in fewer of them going to seed. Some varieties also make a potent medicinal tea.
Learn to preserve the bounty when such wild delights as Wineberries, Elderberries, and Blackberries, Huckleberries and Black Raspberries are ready for harvest. Yumm!
