Kids Herbal Workshop Series
This monthly series is perfect for kids who love to explore, create, and learn. Each month, we'll dive into a different healing herb, and kids will get hands-on experience with foraging, growing and making their own herbal goodies such as first aid kits, teas, glycerites, infused honeys, and more!

Upcoming Classes
Please Eat the Dandelions: Weeds You Can Eat
Instructor: Kathleen Ratteree
Date: Monday, May 10, 6 -8 pm​

Cost: $45.00 per student

Purslane, garlic mustard, lambs quarters, chickweed, stinging nettle, mullein, dandelion, wild amaranth, plantain… Though they can ruthlessly invade flower beds and vegetable gardens, what we call “weeds” are wonderful in other ways. Packed with nutrition and flavor, these amazing and resilient plants are full of surprises.
Instead of burning or spraying your abundance of these plants, repurpose them into dandelion tea, amaranth seed polenta, chickweed pesto, or nettle lasagna. In this class we will learn the health benefits of these plants and make delicious and healing recipes with them. You'll never look at weeds in the same way!
