Spring Herbal Series: Spring Plant Medicine with Tara Quackenbush
May 4, 2025 @ 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm EDT

Get to know a few herbal allies that are springing up across the land during this replenishing turning of the wheel, including a common bitter root and greens, tender mucilaginous herbs, and an extremely nutritive stinging powerhouse. Learn how to identify and prepare some of these herbs for nourishment and medicine while getting a taste of the remedies growing around us.
Class by registration only. Registration will open soon.

About the facilitator
Tara Quackenbush (she/they) is a bioregional folk herbalist, medicinal herb grower, remedy maker, and catalyst. Tara brings people and plant kin together to deepen our connections to each other and the ecosystems we share. She is committed to cultivating a strengthened sense of place and well-being through collective actions and encourages all of us to regularly engage with plants that grow in our bioregion while guiding the co-creation of herbal remedies through hands-on workshops.
This series is facilitated by herbalists affiliated with the People’s Health Sanctuary Community Apothecary who are volunteering their time and sharing information for educational purposes. None of the remedies shared in these workshops are intended to diagnose or treat any disease.
The workshop series is held on the second floor of the NATURE Lab building, which is currently only accessible by a flight of stairs. If stairs will present a barrier to attending the workshop please get in touch in case we can accommodate your participation in another way.
We are committed to lowering the barriers to access for events at The Sanctuary for Independent Media. For people who are hard of hearing or deaf, blind or low-vision, or whose physical limitations can interfere with a satisfying experience, let us know two weeks in advance so we can make appropriate arrangements.
