Lewiston-Porter Central School District

Every plant has its own season where it is bountiful and thriving, especially in our climate. During this time of year the earth is reawakening, and if you spend some time outside, you’ll find many herbs that are nourishing & supportive. During this class, we will talk about some of the plants that you can find outside right now including their beneficial properties and ways to use them. Sustainably foraged, fresh herbs will be provided for each of us to work with as we transform them into our own glycerites! A glycerite is an extraction of the active compounds from the plant into our base (vegetable glycerin and water mixture). Having this makes it easier and more accessible to receive the healing qualities of certain plants, especially in a pinch. You can use this knowledge to make glycerites (or any types of extracts) out of any other herbs that you may find throughout the year!

Students must bring cutting boards and knives to cut herbs to class.

Students aged 12 and up are welcome to register for this class when a parent/guardian is also registered and attending the same class.

A supply fee of $15 per person is due and payable to the instructor the day of class.
