108 E 10th St, Anniston, AL, United States, Alabama 36201

Medicinal plants are the lifeblood of Southern heritage in the Appalachian Mountains, where a unique herbal tradition–shaped by European, African, and Indigenous knowledge–has thrived for generations. Join Darryl Patton, longtime apprentice to legendary herbalist Tommie Bass, for “Traditional Folk Medicine,” and discover firsthand the field‑based approach that defines the Deep South Center for Herb Studies. Over twelve years beside Bass, Patton learned to identify, harvest, and transform hundreds of native plants into salves, tonics, and remedies–skills he now teaches so students gain the confidence to safely gather and use two to three hundred medicinal species themselves. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with Appalachian herbal wisdom and learn a living tradition of healing. (3 Rewards)
