Herbal Medicine: Garden Herbs for Healing
With herbs in your garden you can always have fresh, potent, and organic medicine on hand whenever you need.
About
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 be easily grown in your garden (or found fresh at the grocery store), as well as some that you might call "weeds" that are already growing all around you.
We will begin in the beautiful BARN culinary garden seeing, touching, smelling, tasting, and learning about the herbs thriving there, and then head inside. In the kitchen we'll learn how to use and prepare fresh herbs for medicinal tea, as well as storing them for future consumption.
You'll taste many different herbs, make your own blend of tasty nourishing herbal tea, and take some herbs home to play with in your own kitchen. Each participant will leave with new knowledge of how to identify and use medicinal plants, and how and when to use them effectively.
