Spring Tonic Herb Tincture Workshop
April 20 : 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm
After the dormancy of winter, the spring bursts forth with an abundance of green. Greens we can usually eat, tincture, or otherwise incorporate into our lives. Spring greens or s’preens are loaded with vitamins, nutrients, and medicinal properties. From wild salads, to tinctures and salves, we will discuss some of the most common spring tonic herbs and how to use them in your life!
Ed and Maya Skopal of I-TAL Acres will be leading a workshop which will involve identifying, learning about, and harvesting medicinal plants with a focus on greens. Workshop participants will make their own tincture (single herb or compound depending in the class and come away with the knowledge of how to make their own tinctures, salves, and infused oils.
