Hear from those who've shared the day with us.

“Michelle was very organized. I loved that she had notes to reference to make sure she hit everything she wanted the group to learn. I understood everything that she was saying and she was great with questions, while encouraging others to contribute their knowledge. It felt very collaborative. Michelle is a true enthusiast who is willing to share what she knows. I learned new skills and can identify some new plants and their used. I also feel more confident about using identification books. The class was a good mix of “classroom” and in the field exercises. This class really peaked my interest and I am now ready to learn more." - Shelene Shevchecko

“We loved Michelle’s passion and enthusiasm for foraging and teaching. She is very approachable with any and all questions we had. The class exceeded our expectations, which increased our Maine plant knowledge, and we learned new skills in how to identify and use plants. We especially enjoyed the preparation and hands on work at the end of the day with what we had foraged:  medicinals and edibles.  Lawn pesto is going be part of our regular appetizer regime!!"  - Jocelyn and Keith
