Home Herbalist Series: Oils, Salves, and Topical Remedies

The Home Herbalist Series

Build your confidence in herbal preparation through a series of hands-on workshops designed for curious beginners and aspiring home herbalists. Each 3-hour workshop explores a different area of herbal medicine and gives you the opportunity to learn, create, and take home your own handcrafted preparations.

Across the series, we’ll explore tinctures, extracts, bitters, teas, syrups, infused oils, salves, topical remedies, herbal foods, bath preparations, and more. You’ll learn the foundations behind each preparation while gaining practical skills you can continue using in your own home apothecary.

Each workshop includes:

• 3 hours of hands-on herbal instruction
• Up to 5 take-home herbal preparations
• All herbs, ingredients, and supplies
• Tea tasting and herbal conversation
• A welcoming, small-group learning environment

Choose individual workshops or join us for the full series. No previous herbal experience required.
