The new autumn class schedule is out at Maggie's Herb Farm in St. Augustine. We had a great time over the weekend making Tinctures Liniments and Syrups at the farm. There were 11 students in the class, and they had fun choosing different fresh herbs from the farm for their tinctures and liniments.
Many of us when home with flats of new herbs. I picked up herbs for myself and the Fair Share garden including Stevia, Lemon Balm, Thai Basil, Comfrey, Aztec Sweet, Dwarf Myrtle, Skullcap, and Houttuynia.
The following are the descriptions for the classes that I will be teaching in the fall:
