For those wanting to start building their home apothecary. Go on a Plant Walk on Delena’s land, gather the plants of your choice, then make five new tinctures to take home. Each 50 mL batch of tincture will yield just over 1 oz of tincture once strained (5 tinctures valued at ~$150).

Workshop includes:

• Hand-out
• Instruction and demonstration
• The difference between tinctures, extracts and glycerins; how/when to use each
