A free workshop for the community.

Join us for a hands-on workshop on Saturday, Jan. 24, 2026, where we explore the art of crafting fire cider, an invigorating herbal tonic, with Gainesville's beloved lead herbalist, LeAnn Averall, owner of A Thousand Leaves Herb Shop in downtown Gainesville!

In this hands-on workshop you will make your very own vinegar extract and learn about the health benefits of them!

Vinegar extracts are easy and fun kitchen medicine that can be used for a variety of different health tonics, dressings, marinades, mocktails and more!

Join Melissa and LeAnn for a hands-on workshop featuring some of our favorite local, medicinal and highly pigmented plant relatives! We will demonstrate how to make inks and paints from plant material, while also learning about the plants themselves and how they are beneficial for human health.

This 2 hour class explores the therapeutic power of herbs, supplements, and lifestyle modifications to manage Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) and Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD). Participants will gain comprehensive knowledge of these conditions and the effective holistic methods to support themselves and their clients.

First Aid skills can be an important component of herbal medicine practice. These skills can be used to benefit our communities in times of need and for the day-to-day care of acute health conditions. In this class Cal Wolfpack, a community and clinical herbalist with a background in first aid, will present their herbal first aid kit as a hands-on example of how an herbalist might organize their first aid kit and what herbs, herbal preparations & other supplies might be included.

Join us for an evening in the courtyard, for a workshop and social. The first half will be a workshop on botanical drink making and then we will throw some music on and have a social and drink some drinks!
