Autumn Roots for Resilience
A Hands On Herbal Medicine Class
at Goldenrose Gardens
with Erin Rosenthal
When: Saturday, October 14th 1-4pm
Where: Goldenrose Gardens in Hardwick, VT
Who: Geared for beginners, teens and adults, interested in supporting their health with natural remedies.
In this three hour experiential intensive, we'll engage all our senses as we learn about the cultivation, harvest and processing of roots for medicine. Bring your digging fork and take home fresh roots that you can use to make your own medicine with the skills and know-how from the workshop.
We'll focus primarily on the well-studied benefits of Ashwagandha, an adaptogenic herb grown as an annual in VT, that supports the body's ability to resist the damaging effects of stress and restore healthy physiological functioning. We will sample different herbal preparations such as tea, tincture & tasty bliss balls so you can experience the herbal preparation that best suits you. In addition you'll also go home with seeds for starting your own plants next Spring and a handout with notes on growing, harvesting & medicine making.
Cost: $75 suggested, sliding scale available
Register: Please register by emailing Erin at cloudtorch@gmail.com
A minimum of 6 participants are needed to run the class.
What to Bring: Garden digging fork & water bottle. Dress for the weather in clothes you don't mind getting dirty.
