Vernal Vitality Spring Workshop

  • The Miner's Bazaar 235 East California Street Jacksonville, OR, 97530 United States (map)

Welcome Spring by learning how to mix delicious, healthy, mineral- rich and non-toxic recipes from plants that you can safely gather from your gardens, yards and neighborhood.

Our recipes will feature Dandelions, Nettles & Cleavers, which are all available locally and whose harvest does not negatively affect wildlife or local ecology.

We will teach you basic methods used in herbology, such as safe & sustainable harvest, the difference between teas, decoctions, oxymels and cordials and the nutritional benefits of the featured botanicals.

We will provide everything you need to mix and take home a nettle tea and a spring tonic, dandelion & nettle vinegar. You’ll also take home other recipes to mix at home including two spring cordials.

We'll also be debuting our new Dandelion Cappuccinos! Roasted dandelion root is a traditional springtime herbal ally. More than a common weed, this incredible herb has bitter, warming and drying qualities that balance springtime's cool, wetness. Dandelion supports your liver and activates your kidneys to counter water retention and assist in spring cleansing practices.
