Nature lovers, families, plant enthusiasts, and people who want to learn more about traditional medicines will all love this hands-on class where we will learn about Balm of Gilead salve, identification of cottonwood/poplar trees, and make an infused poplar oil. Participants will go home with infused poplar bud oil, a recipe to make their own Balm of Gilead, and knowledge about the medicinal properties of poplar buds and sustainable harvesting practices. A finished jar of Balm of Gilead will be available for purchase.
