On this Saturday morning class, we will meander the garden and land to identify ‘pesky’ weeds we usually eliminate rather than befriend. We will learn about their benefits to the soil and environment, their properties, and how to transform them into delicious foods and medicines. You will leave with greater appreciation for these overlooked plants and a lovely Spring tonic.

We will meet Saturday morning August 8 from 10:00-12:00. Coffee and herbal tea will be provided. Address is 2525 Warm Springs Road, Shenandoah Junction, WV.

JUNE Plant Tea Talk--Saint John's Wort
$10.00

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 June 28 from 10-12.

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