About

Learn how to use common herbs growing in your garden, found fresh at the grocery store, and even some growing as "weeds" in your yard, to help support your body throughout cold and flu season.
You'll begin in the beautiful BARN garden, seeing, touching, smelling, tasting, and learning about the herbs thriving there, and then head inside. In the kitchen, we'll learn how to use and prepare fresh herbs for medicinal tea, as well as storing them for future consumption. 

You'll leave with new knowledge of how to identify and use medicinal plants, how to identify different signs and symptoms in the body to know which herbs to use with a variety of different cold and flu symptoms, plus herbs to take home to make medicinal and delicious tea whenever you want. And of course, tasty, nourishing herbal tea will be shared by the group during Q&A. 

Make an herbal tea blend to take home, as well as detailed instructions to begin your own home remedy resource manual.

With herbs in your garden, you can always have fresh, potent, and organic medicine on hand!

Abby Rappoport

Abby, a medicinal plant lover, has always had a deep affection for plants (her first job out of college was as a floral designer). Her interest in using them medicinally bloomed while she was studying for her master's degree in Chinese medicine at the Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine College in Berkeley, Calif. In school she focused on herbal medicine, and after graduation became registered as a professional clinical herbalist with the American Herbalist Guild. She's dedicated to teaching how powerful plant medicine can be, and is always happy to talk your ear off about medicinal plants! When she’s not working in her apothecary or garden, you can find Abby teaching somatic movement therapy, using movement as medicine to help folks feel better in their bodies. Connect with her at www.abbyrapp.com or on Instagram @medicinegarden_pnw or @movement_breath_health
