SUMMARY:Wild and Weedy Wellness: Herbal Foraging Workshop at Tuckaway Farm
DESCRIPTION:From Weeds to Wellness\, Join this Seasonal Herbal Foraging Workshop Experience \nStep into nature’s apothecary and reclaim the lost art of herbal healing! The Wild and Weedy Wellness series invites you to explore the medicinal plants growing in fields\, forests\, and even your own backyard. \nLed by Alison Magill\, an experienced herbalist\, ecologist\, seed-saver and land steward\, each workshop includes an immersive plant walk where you’ll learn to identify and ethically harvest local herbs. Then\, in a hands-on kitchen session\, you’ll transform these wild botanicals into five or so (depending on the season) herbal products to take home—each one a powerful remedy for your home apothecary. If purchased at a health food store\, these products would cost more than the price of the workshop! But here\, you’ll not only take them home—you’ll gain the skills to make them yourself\, fostering self-reliance\, saving money\, and supporting your health naturally. \nThe walks and workshops take place on Tuckaway Farm\, a beautiful\, certified organic property in Lee NH. These workshops are about more than just making medicine—they’re about building a deeper understanding of the plants around us and harvesting with respect for the land. If you’re wanting to reconnect with nature and build your herbal skills\, join one of the monthly sessions or the whole series and begin crafting your home herbal apothecary this season. \nPlants: \nThe exact plants we’ll be collecting each month are not guaranteed! Why? Because although we know the general seasonality of the wild plants\, every year’s growing season – rain and temperature – is different and plants may not be ready to harvest on a specific date. \nHere are a few of the plants we will be looking for each month: \nAPRIL 26: Nettle\, violet\, dandelion\, pine\, dead nettle\, knotweed. \nMAY 17: Chickweed\, nettle\, dandelion\, elder flower\, clover\, self-heal. \nJUNE 14: Yarrow\, plantain\, self-heal\, St Johns wort\, elder flower\, horsetail. \nJULY 12: Comfrey\, clover\, mullein\, raspberry\, blueberry\, purple loosetrife \nAUGUST 9: Bee balm\, goldenrod\, jewelweed\, black cherry\, sumac\, boneset \nSEPTEMBER 13: Aster\, elder berries\, goldenrod\, sumac\, assorted seeds. \nOCTOBER 11: Root harvesting! Burdock\, yellow dock\, dandelion\, Japanese knotweed. \nWe will also be working with some of the common cultivated herbs found in the gardens. \n\n\n\n\nEach workshop starts with a 2 hour foraging walk through the property of Tuckaway Farm in Lee NH.  Then we’ll return to the Emerson House kitchen to prepare what we’ve gathered for the remainder of the afternoon. Over the course of the season\, we will visit the different places where wild weeds are ready to harvest. \nDuring the workshop portion\, you will learn several different preparation methods such as herb drying and storage\, using beneficial plants as food or making different extracts or oils. Participants will take home a good selection of herbal goodies (usually 4 – 5 items) each session. All supplies and materials are included in the cost of the workshop but BYO jars is greatly appreciated. Details included after your purchase. \nFORAGING WALK ONLY OPTION is available for those who are not interested in making the herbal preparations BUT here’s a warning: you will probably wish you’d decided to stay! \nThe walk + workshop cost is $75 single or $120 couple/family. Family tickets only include 1 set of herbal preparations to take home. If you wish to double the number of products you make during the workshop\, please register as 2 adults.  Adults are ages 15 and up; children 6 – 14 are invited to join with their parents/guardians at no charge ( limit 2 children per family ticket due to space constraints). \nForaging walk ONLY tickets are $30 single and $50 family; up to 4 children are invited to come along on the walk for each family ticket. \nPlease Note: Tickets are non-refundable unless the event is canceled due to weather or other unforseen circumstances. If you are unable to attend\, you can reschedule for another workshop date later in the season.
