Want a clearer, more grounded understanding of natural health—and how people actually use plants as medicine in everyday life? This beginner-friendly series is a gentle on-ramp for complete newbies, gardeners, and wellness-curious folks who want practical skills without overwhelm. Across four one-hour classes, you’ll learn how to harvest, dry, and store herbs with confidence, then turn them into simple, approachable preparations—starting with teas that truly work and easy home topicals. Each class stands alone, so you can drop in for one or take all four, and together they build a practical foundation you’ll actually use at home. | Whole series: 4 hours of instruction. $125 Buy tickets: https://hna.recdesk.com/Community/Program/Detail?programId=2605 Class 1: Garden to Herbalist: The Beginner’s Map�What is herbalism, really—and how do you start in a way that feels safe, simple, and doable? We’ll cover the basic language of plant medicine, the main ways herbs are used, and a clear roadmap for building small wellness habits you can actually keep. You’ll leave knowing exactly what to do next with the plants you already love—or the herbs you want to start with. | 1 hour. $35 | April 8, 2026 at 6:30 PM Class 2: Harvest Smart: Drying, Storing, and Keeping Your Herbs Potent�This is the class that turns good intentions into usable herbs. We’ll cover when to harvest, simple home-drying methods that prevent mold and preserve aroma, and how to label and store herbs so they stay useful—not forgotten. We’ll also go over essential safety basics, including common warnings and limitations, how to think about herbs around children with extra caution around dosing, and when it’s wise to pause or seek professional support. | 1 hour. $35 | April 15, 2026 at 6:30 PM Class 3: Tea That Works: Infusions, Decoctions, and Daily Herbal Rituals�The easiest place to start is often a cup—and there’s a big difference between tea that tastes nice and tea that actually supports the body. You’ll learn when to use an infusion versus a decoction, how to make it taste good, and how to build simple routines for common goals like digestion comfort, seasonal support, and winding down. You’ll leave with repeatable methods you can use with what you grow, buy, or already have in your pantry. | 1 hour. $35 | April 22, 2026 at 6:30 PM Class 4: Your First Remedy Jar: Infused Oils and Simple Topicals�We’ll step beyond tea into the most beginner-friendly herbal preparation: infused oils and simple topical use. You’ll learn how to start an herbal oil infusion at home, how to use topicals safely and effectively, and a few easy culinary, nutrition-forward ways to use garden herbs day to day so your harvest supports both nourishment and wellness. We’ll also share a clear “what’s next” path if you want to keep learning, without piling on complexity. | 1 hour. $35 | April 29, 2026 at 6:30 PM Location: Philip Heit Center (150 W.
