Is this a society thing? Kingdom specific? Or is this mundane? It
sounds interesting and I was wondering if there was anything like
it available in our area (Midrealm, Detroit).

These all sound fantastic and I'm somewhat jealous now that
I dont' live near you. We have some wonderfully talented
people in the Midrealm, unfortunately, none of them teach
these kinds of herb classes that I know of. If they do,
perhaps I'm missing out every time. I'd love to take see
the course descriptions and syllabuses for these classes.

I've been on some poorly done herb walks before and perhaps I'm
suffering from those impressions. They were not done in an
SCA context before and I never was terribly impressed. At the
Pennsic walks, do they address the ethics of wildcrafting?

Thanks for sharing your experiences.
