We’ll discuss simple ways to prepare soothing elixirs with aromatic herbs—plants whose volatile oils make them a go-to for stress-relief—including herbal infusions, syrups and oxymels.

Attendees will take a deep dive with Lavender, an aromatic mint family plant with potent calming, anxiety-relieving and sleep-supporting properties. Each person will walk away with a jar of their own Lavender glycerite.

Presented in collaboration with OSS Project, an organization working to create and support public green spaces incorporating public art, storytelling, urban farming, educational programming and community building as a means to address systemic and structural issues of social inequity.
