Join us for a hands-on herbal crafting experience with Greener Partners that brings the magic of plants to life! In this workshop, you’ll explore the art of creating your own herbal teas, healing salves, and tinctures using simple, traditional methods.

Together, we’ll learn about the properties of various herbs, how to infuse oils for medicinal and wellness use, and how to prepare nourishing teas to support everyday wellbeing.

• Each participant will leave with a collection of handmade herbal preparations to continue the process at home, including:

• A jar of oil infused with herbs of your choosing

• A jar containing beeswax (pre-measured for blending into your salve once your oil is ready)

• A jar of tincture herbs ready to infuse

• A tincture dropper bottle for your finished tincture

• A collection of reusable muslin tea bags filled with your custom herbal tea blend

This workshop is perfect for beginners and seasoned herb-lovers alike.

Taught by Shan Wichman from Greener Partners

Shan Wichmann, an employee of Greener Partners, is the Farm Manager at Deaver Wellness Farm at Lankenau Hospital where they connect patients facing food insecurity with fresh food. Their path into herbalism has grown from a deep curiosity about plants as medicine and food as medicine. They are largely self-taught, learning through friends, books, hands-on experimentation, and a lifelong love of the natural world. It feels essential to acknowledge that much of the plant wisdom we draw from today originates with Indigenous peoples, who first cultivated, cared for, and worked with many of the herbs we now use and benefit from.

Many of the plants featured in this workshop grow abundantly here in Pennsylvania, and several are native to this region. Their own herbal practice began with a desire for simpler, more natural ingredients in their skincare routine. Making their own infusions and extractions opened the door to a much wider world of learning—one that they are still exploring.
