Plant Medicine in my Garden 

An introduction to growing and making your own medicine using the herbs that grow in your garden.

Learn about ten medicinal plants you can easily grow in your garden and their healing properties—oregano, basil, rosemary, thyme, dill, parsley, lavender, peppermint, sage and garlic. Also, three common “weeds” that we are often trying to get out of our gardens that are actually very powerful medicines. Find out when/how to harvest these herbs and what part of the plant to use (leaf, root, seed, and/or flower) …then make some medicine of your own to take home!

$85      10 am-1 pm

Supplies, light snacks and beverages provided.

Workshop includes:

• Hand out
• Herbal Plant Walk in Delena’s garden
• Instruction, demonstrations and medicine-making
• Brief introduction to preparing basic medicines: teas (infusions/decoctions), tinctures, extracts, infused oils, compresses and poultices
• Medicine-making: make your own tincture and infused oil (valued at $32)
• Special gift (valued at $10)

Please dress for the weather. In case of heavy rain and/or thunderstorms, we will have a Plant Talk (instead of a Plant Walk) indoors, and I will harvest plants beforehand for medicine-making.

Kids/Teens are welcome to sign up. Kids 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult. Use the code KIDS10 at checkout to receive $10 off the kids/teen ticket (email me if you are registering more than one child).
