A Skowhegan Herbal:
Landon Newton and Maggie Barrett

Welcome! An herbal is a collection of plant descriptions, often highlighting their medicinal, culinary, spiritual, or aesthetic qualities. Creating an herbal requires careful observation and attunement to a specific region. An herbal not only reflects the plants it documents, but also the perspectives and practices of those who observe them. Each contribution in our Skowhegan Herbal was made by a participant, staff, or faculty member during the nine-week program in the summer of 2025. We hope you enjoy!
