Saturday, December 18, 10:30 am – 12:00 noon – Make Your Own Aromatherapy Heat Pad
Join The Trustees in the heated greenhouse at the City Natives plant nursery in Mattapan on December 18 from 10:30 – noon for a hands-on herbalism class, learning how to make your own aromatherapy heat pad. Charline Xu, a local herbalist, grower, and educator will walk through the sensory benefits of different herbs and essential oils, and how to best incorporate them into your heat pad. All of the materials for making your heat pad will be provided – you only need to microwave at home for therapeutic use! Homemade heat pads, or the class it self make a great holiday gift.
Candles, tea blends, salves and other products from Charline’s mobile apothecary, @rootsaboveground will be available for sale onsite. Participants will be invited to explore the grounds of City Natives with a cup of hot herbal tea.
Masks will be required inside the greenhouse and proof of vaccination is required for all attendees over age 12. $28 for Trustees members, $35 for nonmembers. Register at https://thetrustees.org/event/70341/
