Hey y’all! Lets celebrate the Spring Equinox on March 22nd by gathering to make medicine and learn about spring tonics! The workshop will be held on my farm at Scorpion Hollow in Berea (and yes, we might find a scorpion or two while we’re at it!). We will:

• Learn about methods and gain hands-on practice for harvesting sassafras root, wild cherry bark, and nettles - with plenty to take home

• Talk about effective methods for drying and processing these herbs

• Make sassafras tea

• Talk about spring tonics and their traditional use and purpose

• Make a tincture to take home

The workshop will be OUTDOORS, rain or shine, unless the weather is forecast calls for heavy rain or severe storms. The backup day is the following Saturday, March 29. If the workshop is rescheduled and you cannot make the back up day, your deposit will be refunded.

Cost $75 (you’ll pay a deposit of $25 to reserve your spot and pay the balance at the workshop). All materials included for tincture making.

The workshop is limited to 8 people, so don’t wait!
