Discover the magic of oxymels with Nicole Irene of The Enchanted Altar Apothecary in this engaging, hands-on workshop on Saturday, October 25, from 1 to 3 p.m. Oxymels — traditional herbal remedies made from raw vinegar and honey — have been used for centuries to boost immunity, ease inflammation, aid digestion, and support the body’s natural balance. In this Berkshire Botanical Garden immersive class, you’ll learn how to craft nourishing blends using fresh and dried herbs, produce, botanical-infused vinegars, and raw local honey. We’ll explore the healing properties of plants, the folklore and seasonal wisdom behind them, and how to create remedies that align with the rhythms of nature. You’ll leave with custom-made oxymels, recipes and the knowledge to carry this beautiful tradition into your daily wellness routine.

Ideal for herbal enthusiasts, home gardeners, kitchen witches, and anyone curious about herbal medicine, this class is an invitation to reconnect with the earth, the plants, and your inner healer. $70 for BBG members, $90 for nonmembers.
