Spend the day with me here at The Honeystead learning how to start your very own medicinal herb garden from seed and turn those same herbs into beautiful, nourishing teas.

There is something so rewarding about planting a tiny seed, watching it grow, and eventually harvesting those herbs to use in your own home apothecary.

This hands-on workshop is all about bringing that experience to life, from seed to teacup!

We'll spend the first part of our day learning about medicinal herbs, how to start them from seed, and what they need to thrive. You'll get your hands into the soil and start a collection of medicinal herbs that you can take home and continue growing in your own garden.

Then we'll head into the apothecary, where we'll work with the dried versions of many of those same herbs. You'll learn about their traditional uses, explore their flavors and aromas, and discover how to blend them together to create a few wonderful herbal teas of your own.

No experience is needed. Just come curious and ready to learn!

What We'll Spend the Day Learning

During the workshop, we'll talk about:

• Medicinal herbs that are wonderful additions to a home garden
• How to successfully start herbs from seed
• Understanding soil, sunlight, watering, and growing conditions
• How to plan and care for your own medicinal herb garden
• When and how to harvest herbs for tea making
• Properly drying and storing your homegrown herbs
• The traditional uses and benefits of different tea herbs
• How to combine herbs to create flavorful, purposeful tea blends
• Understanding herbal infusions and decoctions
• How to create your own tea recipes using herbs you can grow at home

And most importantly, you'll have the opportunity to start your very own medicinal herb garden from seed and blend several herbal teas using the same herbs you'll be growing.

You'll leave with your planted seeds, your own tea creations, and the knowledge to continue the process at home.

From Seed to Teacup

One of my favorite things about herbalism is realizing how much we can grow right outside our own back door.

A simple patch of chamomile, calendula, lemon balm, or other medicinal herbs can become something so much more than a beautiful garden.

It can become part of your home apothecary.

During our time together, we'll explore the connection between growing herbs and actually using them.

You'll start your seeds, learn how to care for them as they grow, and understand when they're ready to harvest.

Then we'll take those same herbs, in their already dried form, and begin blending.

We'll talk about flavor, herbal properties, and how to bring different plants together to create teas you'll actually look forward to drinking.

I want you to understand not only how to make a tea blend, but why you're choosing the herbs that go into it.

And when those little seeds you've planted finally grow into harvestable herbs, you'll already have the knowledge and recipes to begin using them.

This Workshop Is For You If...

You've wanted to start growing medicinal herbs but haven't known where to begin.

Maybe you already have a garden and would love to dedicate a little space to herbs you can harvest for tea.

Or perhaps you enjoy herbal teas and want to learn how to create your own blends using plants you've grown yourself.

You do not need a greenhouse.

You do not need a large garden.

You do not need any previous experience.

Whether you're starting your first seeds or expanding an existing garden, this workshop is designed to help you feel more confident growing and using medicinal herbs.

Come as you are.

A Day at The Honeystead

These workshops are intentionally kept small, hands-on, and personal.

My hope is that you leave with more than a few planted seeds and jars of tea.

I want you to leave understanding the herbs you're growing, knowing how to care for them, and feeling excited about the day you'll be able to harvest them for your own home apothecary.

There is something special about enjoying a cup of tea made from herbs you've grown with your own hands, and I would love to help you begin that journey.

Come spend the day with me here at The Honeystead.

We'll plant seeds, blend teas, ask plenty of questions, and enjoy a day learning together.
