In addition to herbal education, Gill Tract herbalists will share practical instruction on self consultation, garden design, and medicine making techniques, including essences, teas, vinegars, tinctures, oils, salves and syrups. Honoring ancestral traditions of folk herbalism, students will be encouraged to share their own experiences and herbal knowledge, along with the facilitators.
