June 6th
This workshop is an invitation to return to a more grounded, connected way of working with herbs—one that begins not with a bottle, but with the soil.
Growing your own medicine offers something beyond the plants themselves. It brings a sense of rhythm, presence, and quiet satisfaction that comes from tending to something over time. Getting your hands in the soil can be deeply regulating, while also reconnecting you to the natural cycles that support both plant and human health.
This offering is divided into two parts on June 6th. You are welcome to attend one or both.
Part one will take place from 10:00–11:00am at Hawthorn Holistic Health and will be a traditional, discussion-based class focused on nine medicinal herbs that are easy to grow, harvest, and work with here in New England. You’ll learn how these plants support everyday wellness, along with simple, practical ways to incorporate them into your life through teas and infusions, tinctures, herbal salts, infused vinegars, and culinary use.
Part two will take place from 11:30–12:30pm at Edgerton Community Garden in New Haven, about 15 minutes from the clinic. This small group experience will be held at Dr. Lindsay’s garden plot, where we will step into the living apothecary—walking the space, seeing these plants in their natural growing environment, and engaging with them through sight, smell, taste, and touch. This portion is intentionally intimate and we ask that participants be respectful of the shared garden space and the other gardeners tending their plots.
Across both sessions, this workshop blends education with direct experience. Beyond their medicinal properties, we will also explore what it means to build a relationship with these plants—developing familiarity, trust, and an inner sense of how and when to work with them.
Each participant will leave with 2–3 medicinal herb seedlings of their choice, based on availability, offering a tangible starting point for cultivating your own garden apothecary. Additional seedlings and starter plants will be available for purchase in limited quantities.
This workshop is designed to leave you feeling more confident, connected, and inspired to grow and work with your own herbal allies in a way that feels natural and sustainable. Because herbs come from the soil, not the mailman. Reconnecting with herbs as living plants and allies, not just products. Herbs bring more healing when they are grown, touched, smelled, tasted, and known.
