Spring Series - Garlic Mustard

  • Walkill, NY 12589 (map)

Our intention with these workshops is to teach participants how to utilize the plants we will be focusing on, creatively and medicinally. A vast majority of plants will produce beautiful ranges of color as well as having medicinal benefits that enhance physical and mental well being. Open to all skill levels - these workshops will demonstrate how multi-faceted plants, mostly invasives, can be.

Open to all skill levels!

First in our series is garlic mustard! A tenacious plant generally viewed as unwanted nuance to most people who bravely try to keep its growth at bay. In this workshop, we will learn how to identify, forage and utilize it! We will also talk about ethical foraging practices, the invasive status of garlic mustard and the benefits of utilizing it as medicine.

Join us as we create a communal dye bath with garlic mustard we will be foraging on site while also concocting a nutritive herbal spring vinegar.

Each participant will leave their own dyed silk scarf, an info packet with a materia medica and instructions on how to dye at home as well as the spring vinegar that they will make during the workshop.

Sliding scale: $45-$65

This workshop will be held in Walkill, NY - the address will be emailed to participants a day or two before the date.
