Discover the healing synergy of honey and herbs in this hands-on workshop with herbalist Jade Alicandro. The workshop will take place on February 8 at 10:30 am at the New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill in Boylston, and is $40 for NEBG members, $63 for nonmembers. Register at www.nebg.org

Learn the medicinal properties of honey, create a Winter Immune Honey, and explore traditional folk medicine-making techniques. Instructor Jade Alicandro weaves a love of bio-regionally abundant herbs and kitchen medicine into her work as a community and clinical herbalist. When she’s is not teaching bioregional herbalism to students and apprentices, you can find her roaming the hedges with her harvest basket in hand or at home in the kitchen brewing-up some potent food as medicine.

From 2012-2019 she ran the Greenfield Community Herbal Clinic, a clinic dedicated to affordable herbal care, and currently maintains a long-distance clinical practice. She offers in-person, seasonally based, bioregional herbalism classes, teaches monthly online classes through her Patreon community, and offers a 6-week kitchen as medicine online course each winter.
