Kootenay Herb Conference, Creston, BC, July 8 – 11, 2016

A great time was had by all at the Kootenay Herb Conference in Creston, BC with many fabulous speakers. I enjoyed giving a fun herb walk at Corn Creek and enjoyed going on Keith Davis' herb walk as well. We harvested devil's club and skunk cabbage roots. I also gave a permaculture lecture, with lots of input.  We were impressed with top notch food by 8 month pregnant, Amy, from Ymir and her team of helpful cooks. Theron's Ymir Bakery provided excellent baking. Rachel worked super hard at organizing the whole event. Here's hoping that someone else carries the torch for the next one, as she is now stepping down.
