Herbs for Home and Health by Susan Quinlan

Saturday, November 9, 2:00 – 4:00 pm

Enfield Shaker Museum Garden

447 N.H. Route 4A, Enfield N.H.

The Shakers grew, prepared, and sold herbs for many purposes across the country.

In this hands-on workshop you’ll learn how to harness the natural power of herbs to enhance both your health and home! In this class, we will explore the benefits of everyday herbs and their uses in creating wellness remedies and natural household products.

You’ll discover how to craft your own Fire Cider—a potent, immune-boosting tonic made from apple cider vinegar, garlic, ginger, and other powerful herbs. This traditional remedy is perfect for fending off colds and boosting overall wellness.

In addition, we’ll guide you through the process of making your own herbal cleaning product, that is safe for your family and is environmentally friendly. You’ll leave with practical knowledge, recipes, and samples of your own Fire Cider and herbal cleaners to take home!

This workshop is perfect for beginners and herb enthusiasts alike. Come ready to get creative and inspired by the natural world around you!

Hot Cider and refreshments will be served.
