July 12-13 from 10am - 3pm on Saturday and Sunday

We will spend this weekend together with other like minded plant lovers, immersing ourselves in nature. We will be slowly steeping in the healing properties of the plants we work with through hands-on harvesting, processing and medicine making.  

Participants will have opportunities to submerge into the healing ways of plants by spending time with them, sensorially experiencing their scents, textures, growing patterns and developing a personal connection with them. Demonstrations will include processing each plant in their own unique ways to preserve their medicinal attributes, drying techniques, hydrosol production and alcohol extraction.

Instructor
The course is led by Leslie Lekos, director of Wildroot Botanicals

Included in the Intensive Workshop
Our Wildroot Botanicals workshops are held at the Wildroot Botanicals garden, and includes parking, with direct access to bathrooms and drinking water. Tea and beverages are provided. Additionally, all participants will get to bring home plants, herbs and multiple products that we craft together throughout the weekend. All glass bottles, labels and supplies are provided.

Being Prepared for the Weather

We will be outside at our harvesting sites rain or shine.  It is important to always come to class prepared to be outside.  Good walking shoes are important as well as layers and rain gear for cold weather months.  Sun block and hats are important for summer months.  It can also be useful to bring something to sit on and a water bottle for the day.

Cost
$200 for both days, or early bird $175 by May 15

Adverse Conditions

Please note that if there are events beyond our control, such as illness, forest fire smoke, or extreme weather that compromise student safety then the school may reschedule a class to another date.
