Add to your home apothecary as we create tree-inspired tinctures, teas, infused oils, and delicious wild edible treats!
I was blessed to grew up learning about trees on walks with my grandparents here in Chatham County and look forward to sharing this arboreal adventure with you. Hands on creations, botany, plant meditation, cultural history, and detailed handouts with recipes will support our practice of really seeing and appreciating the beautiful and fascinating details of trees.
