Herbs for Mind and Mood Herbal Medicine workshop

Join us in the medicine garden at Nettle Wood Herbs to learn about the incredible plants that can be used safely and effectively to regulate our stress response, lift our mood and improve our sleep quality. In this herbal immersion experience, you will spend some time wandering the gardens and meadow and interacting with the plants so you know what they do and how they look, feel, smell and even taste. Then we will discuss the basics of herbal medicine and each participant will choose one of the herbs we covered to craft their own medicinal tincture or vinegar extract under the guidance of a trained herbalist.

Cost is $45 and includes the cost of materials
Hosted by: Amanda Norris, Herbal Educator and Registered Herbalist (CHGe)
Spots are limited, so reservations are required.
