SUMMARY:Garden-to-Apothecary: The Basics of Herbalism
DESCRIPTION:Have a garden full of herbs and no idea what to do with them? Want a clearer\, more grounded understanding of natural health—and how people actually use plants to support overall well-being? This beginner-friendly series is a gentle on-ramp for complete newbies\, gardeners\, and wellness-curious folks who want practical skills without overwhelm. Across four one-hour classes\, you’ll learn how to harvest\, dry\, and store herbs with confidence\, then turn them into simple\, approachable preparations—starting with teas that truly work and easy home topicals. Each class stands alone\, so you can drop in for one or take all four\, and together they build a practical foundation you’ll actually use at home. \nClass 1: Garden to Herbalist: The Beginner’s Map\nWhat is herbalism\, really—and how do you start in a way that feels safe\, simple\, and doable? We’ll cover the basic language of herbal traditions\, common ways herbs are prepared and used\, and a clear roadmap for building small wellness habits you can actually keep. You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of next steps and how to work thoughtfully with plants you already enjoy—or are curious to explore. \nClass 2: Harvest Smart: Drying\, Storing\, and Keeping Your Herbs Potent\nTurn fresh herbs into well-preserved\, usable ingredients for future projects. This session covers when and how to harvest\, simple home-drying methods\, and practical storage and labeling techniques to help maintain quality over time. We’ll also review essential safety considerations\, including general cautions\, thoughtful use around children\, and when it’s best to pause or seek guidance from a qualified professional. \nClass 3: Tea That Works: Infusions\, Decoctions\, and Daily Herbal Rituals\nTea is often the easiest entry point into herbal practice—but there’s a big difference between tea that tastes only tasty and tea that actually supports the body. You’ll learn when to use an infusion versus a decoction\, how to make it taste good\, and how to build simple routines for common goals like digestion comfort\, seasonal support\, and winding down. You’ll leave with repeatable methods you can use with what you grow\, buy\, or already have in your pantry. \nClass 4: Your First Remedy Jar: Infused Oils and Simple Topicals\nWe’ll step beyond tea into the most beginner-friendly herbal preparation: infused oils and simple topical use. You’ll learn how to start an herbal oil infusion at home\, how to use topicals safely and effectively\, and a few easy culinary\, nutrition-forward ways to use garden herbs day to day so your harvest supports both nourishment and wellness. We’ll also outline a clear “what’s next” path\, if you want to continue learning. \nSchedule:\n• Wednesdays | April 8- 29\, 2026\n• 6:30 pm – 7:30 pm \nFee:\n• $125 for 4 week series\n• $35 per class if registered individually \nLocation:\n• Philip Heit Center (150 W. Main St. New Albany\, OH)\n• Conference Room on the first floor \nAbout the Instructor:\nBrandon Elijah Scott is a community herbalist and herbal educator\, and the owner of Woodland Herbal—a family-run apothecary rooted in more than four generations of plant wisdom—where he crafts remedies and supports people in natural health and wellness with grounded\, everyday herbal care.
