Home Health Herbs: Garden to Tincture (and Infusion)

July 11, 2015 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm

Many easy-to-grow garden and wild plants can be used to improve your foundational health and natural defenses, and to deal with common illnesses. The Home Health Herbs garden plan is a selection of cultivated and wild medicinal plants that offer healing. We’ll discuss the use of these plants, and you will receive a chart detailing how they can be used, and which you would be wise to include in your daily routine. Then we’ll dive into the garden, respectfully harvesting herbs that are at their peak (weather willing). We will make tincture with the plants, or will hang them to dry for winter use at the farm in infusions (strong teas that build our foundational health). Herbs as medicine work differently than medicines you get at the drug store. Your care and gratitude for the plant enhances your openness to it, and its giving to you. The plant will give its life for you. Your task is to get to know each plant: its feel and smell and taste and needs. Visit our website to register.
