About the event

Building An Herbal Apothecary at Home: Local Late Season Herbs & Their Traditional Uses
Monthly Sunday "Make & Take" Workshop Series:

Learn to identify and use a variety of summer/fall herbs in easy homemade formulas including teas, tinctures, honeys, and more. Late summer and early fall bring St. John’s wort, burdock, and goldenrod to our fields and meadows (and maybe there’s coneflower in your garden). We’ll learn to recognize and preserve early fall favorites for late season use, including Erin’s abundant and delicious must-have root to ward off end-of-summer blues.

Join community herbalist Erin Narey for hands-on herbalism classes on Sundays in September, October, and November. Learn traditional uses for common wild and household herbs as we identify local wild plants; safe, ethical harvesting techniques; and easy folk formulas to promote wellness. Every workshop will include a demonstration and the opportunity to make at least one herbal tea, tincture, salve, or syrup as you build your very own Herbal Home Apothecary!

* $15 suggested donation/members, $25 suggested donation/non-members per session payable directly to the Erin by cash or check *

Learn to identify and use a variety of late winter/early spring herbs in easy homemade formulas including teas, tinctures, honeys, and more. We’ll talk about early favorites like dandelion and nettle and how to harvest tree allies like white pine and cedar following storms. We’ll make traditional spring tonics to wake our minds and bodies after a long, dark winter, and learn a list of wild herbs to look out for (and plant in our gardens) as spring and summer bloom!
