Gathering the Green: Flower Medicine

Join us for Flower Medicine, the first workshop in our seasonal Food & Medicine Series—a hands-on gathering where we’ll explore the art of cooking, baking, and making medicine with flowers. Together, we’ll learn to craft floral honeys, vinegars, salts, and syrups that capture not just the beauty of blossoms, but their deeper medicine.

This workshop isn’t just about edible petals and fancy garnishes—though you’ll learn how to make those too. It’s about connecting to the heart of the plant, and to the place where you’re standing. This is about learning new ways to connect with the plants growing around you. It’s about moving slowly, paying attention, and entering into a relationship of respect and reciprocity with the living world.

We’ll share herbal tea and chamomile cake as we talk about incorporating edible and medicinal flowers into your kitchen and herbal practice. Along the way, we’ll explore how engaging with plants as more than ingredients—as beings with stories and personalities—can shift the way we see and tend to the earth, each other, and ourselves.

Each participant will go home with:

  • a jar of floral honey and floral salt

  • a bottle of floral syrup

  • Chamomile Cupcake Mix

  • and the knowledge to begin crafting their own seasonal flower medicines

This gathering will take place on the land at Heartsong Sanctuary, inviting us to move with the rhythm of spring and deepen our relationship with the medicine of flowers. When we honor the plants, we remember how to honor ourselves—and that remembrance is its own kind of healing.

Space is limited. Register in advance to reserve your spot!

This series is an invitation to slow down, work with our hands, and gather the green together -honoring the gifts of the land and the traditions of herbal folk wisdom.
