"Making Medicines from Plants"

Our meadows, forests and gardens are home to many plants which can be converted into useful and effective medicine. Come and learn what our ancestors knew about the healing qualities of common "weeds," wildflowers and garden plants. We will learn to make tinctures, salves, medicinal teas and poultices and gain a greater appreciation for nature's pharmacy.

PLEASE NOTE: This Making Medicine from Plants Workshop has a $20 fee and is limited to the first twenty-five registrants. Registration is held only with a check made payable to "Jennifer Cordier," along with the following registration form.
