mcdonald, jim

In 1994, jim mcdonald drank a strange tea from a wild plant he harvested. From there, his life in the woods and meadows of southeast Michigan has been centered on the plants & ecosystems of that land, and how he might share their virtues to restore wellness with those around him. jim’s approach to herbcraft blends traditional european folk influences with 19th century Eclectic and Physiomedical vitalism, which he conveys with story, experience, humour, common sense and lore. He’s taught classes throughout North America, is one of the organizers of the Great Lakes Herb Faire, and is currently alternately writing “Foundational Herbcraft” and the “A Great Lakes Herbal”.  jim is a community herbalist, a manic wildcrafter and medicine maker, and has been an ardent student of the most learned teachers of herbcraft…the plants themselves.
