Topic: "Creating a Garden Sanctuary"
We all need a personal sanctuary. A place where we can be in harmony with the natural world and nurture our bodies, minds, and souls. In this workshop, ecological designer and author Jessi Bloom taps into multiple sources to share the design process of creating sacred space and explores traditional plant wisdom to help you find a deeper connection to the outdoor space you already have - no matter the size. She also explores a beginners guide to plant medicine, using what is in your garden - and how to start your own herbal apothecary!
