In this make-and-take class you will learn about the health benefits of fire cider and it’s constituents—horse radish, pepper, garlic, rosemary, apple cider vinegar, honey, and more. Using organic ingredients, you will brew a delicious pint on this ages-old, immune-boosting remedy to get you through the winter icks. Last year’s class sold out, so register early.

In this make-and-take class, we will learn about the health benefits of bitter plants—and how to combine them for a custom-crafted aide for digestion. Not only are bitters healthful, they also taste (surprisingly) delicious. You will leave with greater knowledge on bitter plants, how to use them in your every day life, and a pint of delicious bitters to take home.

Home-grown St. John’s Wort, cayenne pepper, chili pepper, organic olive oil, locally-sourced beeswax, organic clove essential oil. 2 ounces.

A monthly series focusing on one pant at a time, focusing on plants in season. As we sip tea featuring the plant-of-the-month, we will learn about its history, medicinal and food benefits, and, as weather permits, go out and meet the plant. A lovely, nourishing way to end the weekend and welcome a new week. This is an excellent way to ease into herbalism, concentrating on one plant at a time.

This month’s plant is Saint John’s Wort, a plant that heralds the summer Solstice. We will consider cultivated and wild Monarda, a tremendous pollinator and health ally. We will meet Sunday September 13 from 12:30 - 2:00 at UNITY CHURCH of HAGERSTOWN. This is a free will offering with all proceeds to the church and its outreach programs.

REGISTRATION REQUIRED. If you wish to pay by cash or check please use the cash/check payment option on the shop page.
