You will have the opportunity to taste some of the herbal preparations I have made with cultivated flora and re-engage the sense of smell and taste to identify herbal energetics, and thermal energetics. Closing the plant hike, I will be guiding you on how to create your folk remedy, herbal electuary using vegetable glycerin, and a with a plant that I'll provide. We will delve into the herb used, and learn about medicinal uses Children are welcomed, the material will be modified so that it is inclusive while keeping it at a level that adults will enjoy.
