Homegrown Apothecary Workshop

Description

Workshop Description:

Is it a weed? Is it medicine? Is it both? 

Join herbalist Charlotte Snipes-Wells and Sarah Keown, as we learn about herbal allies that you can grow or find under your feet to use in your home apothecary. 

We’ll walk through the local natives, weeds and invasives that grow abundantly. And touch on many garden friendly plants you can easily cultivate yourself!

In this day-long in-person workshop, we’ll go over the basics of herbalism, take a deep dive into the Materia Medica – all the plant info, and finish with hands-on medicine making to fill your home apothecary. Everyone will go home with a tincture, a healing salve, and the confidence to start growing your own home apothecary!

This workshop is for those brand new to herbal medicine, those who’ve been wanting to take a deeper dive, and anyone wanting to get some hands-on experience working directly with plant medicine. Space is limited! 

If you have any questions about this workshop please reach out to the facilitators at heartofthemoonherbs@gmail.com. We look forward to being in community with you!

When: Saturday, August 12th – 10am-4pm

Where: Snipes Farm and Education Center

Cost: $75 – lunch not included, please bring your own bagged lunch
