About this walk
Roots & Remedies: A Virtual Garifuna Herbal Walk is a 30-minute live online session on Google Meet with a Garifuna herbalist from Palmento Grove in Hopkins, Belize.
You go plant by plant — moringa, lemon grass, basil and soursop — learning what each one is used for, how it’s prepared, and the part it has played in Garifuna life across generations.
Moringa is often called the miracle tree. Lemon grass and basil are valued for their soothing, calming qualities, and soursop carries its own long history of use.
It’s cultural learning about Garifuna plant knowledge, not medical advice — short, specific, and worth your time whether you love plants, care about wellness, or are simply curious how a living tradition works.
