This introductory and fun filled class delves into the joys of creating a home medicinal garden that is functional, beautiful, easy to grow and that supports optimal wellness for yourself and your loved ones. We will focus on growing herbs for vitality, immune health, managing stress, healthy sleep, optimal digestion, children's wellness and family first aid. We will share about the culinary delights of incorporating herbs into our daily meals and the unique gifts of aromatic plants in particular. We will also highlight basic growing guidelines, companion plants as well as wild plants and wildflowers that can invigorate your home ecosystem. We will close by talking about pollinator friendly plants and how growing for the winged ones creates vital habitat and robust gardens for years to come. Before the end of the class we will walk (less than a 5 minute walk) up to Stillmeadows Gardens and will have an opportunity to purchase and take home an herbal plant to add to your garden.
This class is part one to a second class on harvesting our herbs and making folk medicines from them for self and family happening in August. Time and date to be determined.
