Event Details

Member $25/Non-Member $35

This hands-on workshop series will introduce participants to powerful and delicious medicinal plants growing all around us at the farm, both in our fields and wild throughout the property. Each session will explore three to four different plants currently in bloom, helping us tune into the flow of the seasons. Participants will be guided on a scenic plant walk as we discuss how to identify, harvest, and work with these plants, as well as becoming familiar with their benefits. We will discover that powerful plant medicines are available all around us: in our gardens, our grocery stores, and even in the “weeds” in our own backyards! Building relationships with local plants is healing for the mind, body, and spirit. Participants should bring bags, jars, or other containers to bring home their harvests.

The Nose Knows: Aromatic Herbs
Aromatic herbs are everywhere, and they can bring flavor and excitement into our lives. Their strong fragrances indicate more than just flavor, these herbs also have powerful supportive effects within the body. Discover how to use your nose like an herbalist and work with aromatic herbs for a wide range of common complaints.
