You’ve seen the jars of herbs. Maybe you’ve picked them up, smelled them, wondered what they’re used for... and then thought, okay, but what would I actually do with this at home?
This workshop is for you.
Join Rachel for a relaxed introduction to home herbalism as we get to know four herbs available at Mindful Mercantile: Egyptian chamomile, calendula, mullein and marshmallow.
Together, we’ll explore how these plants have traditionally been used and some of the simple ways herbs can become part of everyday home rituals. We’ll talk about teas and infusions, oils, soaks, salves and other preparations, including which methods make the most sense for different herbs.
No previous herbal knowledge needed. This is an approachable place to begin, ask questions and get comfortable actually using the herbs you bring home.
What’s Included
One-hour guided introduction to home herbalism
A closer look at Egyptian chamomile, calendula, mullein + marshmallow
Chamomile tea to sip while we learn
The Mindful Home Apothecary take-home guide with simple preparations and recipes
Your choice of one full package of a featured herb to take home and explore
Good to Know
You’ll also have an opportunity to see, smell and experience the herbs during our time together, then shop the apothecary afterward if you’d like to continue building your collection. Parking is available behind the building, along Columbia Road, and in the public lot behind Grand Pacific Popcorn. This workshop is educational in nature and explores traditional uses of herbs. Information shared is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease and is not a substitute for medical advice.
Why We Gather
At Mindful Mercantile, we believe traditions become meaningful when they're shared. Our workshops are designed to slow life down, teach practical skills, and create something beautiful with your own two hands. Whether you leave with a handcrafted piece, new knowledge, or a new friend, our hope is that every gathering inspires you to bring a little more intention home.
