"We will always have weeds. So, what if we learned to see them in a whole new way. Come take a walk among the weeds and wild plants to hear their stories, perhaps sample their flavors and discover how they can enhance our lives."

Our host, Andrea Jackson, started her herbal adventure over 30 years ago after attending an herb walk led by Piccadilly Herb Club, of which she ultimately became a member.  When she lived in Baltimore, she was a founding member of Partners in Thyme. She also belongs to the Western Pennsylvania Unit of the Herb Society of America, the American Herbalists Guild, and the American Botanical Council. Herbs aside, Andrea is a registered nurse and a Master Gardener and lectures extensively to groups ranging from professional organizations to garden clubs.  She was featured on the local affiliate of ABC news in a segment on medicinal herbs. Her particular interests lie the medicinal uses of herbs, herbal lore, and weeds, which she considers to be the first herbs.  When she is not spreading herbal gospel, she is tucked away in her herb room formulating various concoctions.
