Herbal Medicine 101: Fall Decadence, Syrups, Infused Honeys and Elixirs

Enjoy the abundance of fall with delicious wild-crafted homemade syrups, fresh herb-infused honeys, and elixirs. Who says medicine can’t be sweet and decadent? These remedies are a wonderful way to delight in the summer and fall abundance all year long. We will be sharing recipes on how to combine different roots and berries to make syrups, work with various mints from the garden to make aromatic and soothing infused honeys, and partake in elixirs that will fly off your medicine shelf! This is a hands-on introductory herbal workshop where we will learn plant identification, sustainable harvesting practices and make remedies designed to build long-term health.

Light refreshments will be served.

Space is limited, please register in advance!
