Description

The cold months are fast approaching and with them the threat of colds, flus, and other ickies. Thankfully, many immune supporting herbs are easy to grow, accessible, and ready to harvest for medicine making. Fire cider is an old folk medicine with tremendous sickness fighting and immune boosting properties. It is made with a plethora of plant allies including turmeric, garlic, ginger, horseradish, and citrus. Come join us Saturday, October 1st from 11 - 1:30 pm for an interactive winter medicine making workshop. We'll sample an immune boosting tea, take a tour of the Garden, and harvest some herbs to make our very own fire cider. We'll also explore how to harvest, divide, repot, and overwinter turmeric. Garden gate opens at 10:45. We'll meet on the patio for tea & introductions at 11, then start our class together. Bring your favorite tea cup, notebook, harvest basket, empty medicine jar, & plant tale. Leave with curiosity, connections and a full heart. Five scholarship tickets are available for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color). Email [email protected] to claim one! **Note: Be sure to bring a clean, empty jar or container to take your fire cider sample home in. Dress for the weather and insects. We are also accepting donations of pint or smaller size glass jars with lids. Thank you & we look forward to seeing you in the garden!
