Herbs for Home and Health

Saturday, November 4, 2023

1 pm – 3 pm

The Enfield Shakers grew, prepared, and sold herbs for many purposes. In Herbs for Home and Health you will learn about many varieties of herbs and how they can be used to make natural products for your home and body. This workshop includes discussion and demonstration of the basic steps for making environmentally green cleaners for your home. You will have an opportunity to experiment with many different herbs from the Museum’s Herb Garden, flowers, seeds, spices, and barks to create a custom blend that can be made into teas, tonics, and tinctures for your wellbeing.

Go home from this afternoon herbal happening with some of your own mixtures and recipes for several more!

Class size is limited to 10. Advance registration is required.

Museum Members – $40/person
