JUNE Plant Tea Talk--Monarda (aka Bee Balm)
$10.00

A monthly series focusing on one pant at a time, focusing on plants in season. As we sip tea featuring the plant-of-the-month, we will learn about its history, medicinal and food benefits, and, as weather permits, go out and meet the plant. A lovely, nourishing way to end the weekend and welcome a new week. This is an excellent way to ease into herbalism, concentrating on one plant at a time.

This month’s plant is Monarda, also known as Bee Balm. We will consider cultivated and wild Monarda, a tremendous pollinator and health ally. We will meet Saturday June 27 from 10-12.

If you wish to pay by cash or check please use the cash/check payment option on the shop page.
