Hi, I’m Lori Snyder
Where you might see weeds and wilds, I see tasty edibles and traditional medicines. I invite you to open your eyes and quietly follow me through my medicinal garden to learn about these amazing healing wild plants. I am a Métis herbalist educator and would love to share my lifetime of medicinal plant knowledge with you.
Lori Snyder’s lineage blends from the Tsuu T’ina, Ojibway, Nipissing, Cree and Assiniboine Nations. For the past 25 years, Lori has been teaching, studying and researching wild plant medicines, having completed intensive two year Practical Herbalist Training in 2006. Combining a First Nations perspective and European herbal traditions, Lori’s vision is to create native, edible and medicinal food forests throughout our urban landscape.
Lori has such a gift for sharing her knowledge of the land, I've learned so much about the healing plants growing right under my nose.
