Let's gather together and create homemade salves to soothe winter dry skin. Using the beloved beings, calendula and comfrey, and beeswax and olive oil, we can make a simple remedy for ourselves and our loved ones. No experience needed- just curiosity and gratitude for our plant friends. All materials provided. You will go home with your own tin of salve and a smile! This workshop will be guided by your own intuition, the herb guild, and Julie Green, RN (and garden gnome).

This is a “make and take” project so if you plan on making and taking, please consider bring something to contribute, supply recommendations will be provided when you RSVP - please contact Patti Travioli, email patti@heartwoodforestfarm.com call or text 231-492-5002.

Herb Guild General Info:
The Northwest Michigan Herb Guild is open to all of those interested in sharing and learning more about herbs from all perspectives, whether practical, botanical, culinary, or medicinal. All are welcome with any level of experience. However, we seek to cultivate a committed community of herb enthusiasts and professionals who meet regularly. Meetings will continue on the second Thursday of every month and we hope you'll plan to continue joining us.

These guild gatherings are FREE, but we welcome donations to help to offset the cost of meeting space and to cover supplies for group activities that will be led by members during meetings. If there is a particular subject you would like to learn more about, or if you would like to lead a meeting to share herbal information or activities, please be in touch.
