SUMMARY:Medicinal Herb Class
DESCRIPTION:Medicinal Herb Class \nThursday\, August 22\, 6-7pm \nJoin the once per month (every 4th Thursday) medicinal herb education class offered by Certified Master Herbalist\, Jennifer Thoreson!

Class lasts about 1 hour with plenty of time for questions.  Samples of the different herbs being discussed are usually available. \nThursday\, August 22nd is the kick off and this class will NOT be about specific herbs\, but the different preparations we can use to produce a useful end product.
