Herbal Salve Making Workshop - Sunday, August 15 1:00 - 3:00 pm
Since early times people around the world have made herbal salves and used them for many purposes, from soothing sunburns to moisturizing dry skin and taking the itch out of mosquito bites.
Last year the George Pegg Botanic Garden hosted a native plant identification workshop. This summer visitors have a chance to use some of those plants. Rhonda Drebit-Giroux is leading a herbal salve making workshop at the Garden on Sunday, August 15, from 1:00-3:00 pm. Learn how to blend the ingredients to create a calendula infused salve.
Rhonda has been making salves for many years while learning about plant medicines and native cultural ways. The Pegg Garden's nature trail has an abundance of native plants marked along the route. Join Rhonda on the trail while she points out plants used for the salve.
Pre-registration is required by August. 6. The $40.00 registration fee includes Rhonda’s recipe, a jar of salve, and enough herbs to make a batch at home. For more information and to register call 780-203-0331.
