Ed Geis will lead an online presentation called Medical Marijuana, hosted by Merryspring Nature Center, on Tuesday, Jan. 20, at 12 p.m. 

Geis is a commercial hemp grower in Camden. He will discuss the biology, history, and uses of the hemp plant. He’ll also talk about his organic regenerative growing approach and the medicinal uses of hemp flower. 

This talk is part of Merryspring’s Online Winter Talk series, generously sponsored by Camden Riverhouse Hotel.

Thanks to the generosity of the Cascade Foundation, the talks will also be recorded for future viewing on the Merryspring YouTube channel.
