Whether you want to start or grow your home apothecary, it’s important to focus on plants that grow wild locally (in KY, TN, and similar bioregions) and in abundance. Having the security of relying on resources that are always available can give you the peace of mind to know you can care for yourself and your family. This workshop will cover ten highly medicinal wild plants and ⁃ How to identify them ⁃ How and when to harvest them ⁃ An understanding of their medicinal and nutritive properties ⁃ Their most effective preparation methods Participants will also learn the most effective medicine making technique: the tincture. Everyone will make their own medicinal tincture from one of these plants and be able to take it home to add to their apothecary. As a bonus, we will discuss my top three picks for which medicinal plants to grow yourself that you may not be able to find in the wild, and where to source the seeds.
