Tools/Supplies:
You must provide your own wildcrafting paraphernalia such as leather gloves, quality pruners, shovel, digging fork, bags/baskets for harvesting out in the field. In addition, alcohol, olive oil, bottles/jars and other expenses necessary for medicine making must be brought to class or be prepared to purchase supplies from me.  Notice in advance will be given to give you time to buy supplies.
