Join clinical herbalist Abby Rappoport in BARN's culinary garden to learn about medicinal herbs. You'll be introduced to a variety of herbs that can easily be grown in your garden (or found fresh at the grocery store), as well as some you might call "weeds" that already are growing all around you.  

We'll begin in the garden seeing, touching, smelling, tasting, and learning about the herbs thriving there, and then head into the kitchen to learn how to use and prepare fresh herbs for medicinal tea, as well how to store them for future use.

You'll taste many different herbs, make your own blend of tasty and nourishing herbal tea, and take some herbs home to play with in your own kitchen. You'll leave with knowledge of how to identify and use medicinal plants, and how and when to use them effectively.

Materials

Instructor
Abby Rappoport

Abby, a medicinal plant lover, has always had a deep affection for plants (her first job out of college was as a floral designer). Her interest in using them medicinally bloomed while she was studying for her master's degree in Chinese medicine at the Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine College in Berkeley, Calif. In school she focused on herbal medicine, and after graduation became registered as a professional clinical herbalist with the American Herbalist Guild. She's dedicated to teaching how powerful plant medicine can be, and is always happy to talk your ear off about medicinal plants! When she’s not working in her apothecary or garden, you can find Abby teaching somatic movement therapy, using movement as medicine to help folks feel better in their bodies. Connect with her at www.abbyrapp.com or on Instagram @medicinegarden_pnw or @movement_breath_health
