In this workshop, Mark shares the step-by-step techniques for "closing the loop" on your garden harvest. You’ll learn how to grow versatile plants, safely forage for local mushrooms, and master the basic methods of preservation and extraction—all with a focus on tradition, safety, and the satisfaction of a handmade lifestyle. What will I learn in the Workshop? The Apothecary Garden: A common-sense guide to the most versatile and easy-to-grow herbs for the Northeast, from fragrant mints to bright calendula. Simple Extractions: Master the basic "folk method" for creating botanical extracts and alcohol-free glycerites using garden-fresh ingredients. The Dual-Extraction Method: A technical look at processing mushrooms. Mark will demonstrate the traditional water-and-alcohol extraction used to get the most out of foraged or home-grown fungi like Reishi or Lion's Mane. The Art of the Tea Blend: Learn how to properly dehydrate and store your herbs to create flavorful, aromatic tea blends that capture the essence of summer all year long. Traditional Salves: How to infuse oils with garden botanicals to create simple, soothing balms and topical salves for your own home use.
