About the event
Winter is the season to have your home apothecary stocked and ready. Join herbalist Linda Conroy at Driftless Folk School for a full, hands-on day making the remedies that carry a household through cold and flu season.
Together we will make syrups, oxymels, throat sprays, a gargle, tinctures, lozenges, infusions, tea, salves, and much more. Along the way, Linda will share the herbs she reaches for in winter and how to use each preparation at home. You will leave with the remedies we make in class, the recipes, and instructions for working with each herb.
This class pairs well with The Home Apothecary 2 on Sunday, October 18, which focuses on herbs for the skin, pain, sprains, and strains. Join us for one day or both.
