  • Saturday, April 6, 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm – 10 Essential Herbs for a Healthy Life

    Blue Crow Botanicals is a small local herb company in Gill, in Western Massachusetts, in the fertile Connecticut River valley. It is also an educational resource for people wanting to learn to make medicine and practice the art of using herbs therapeutically.  They are small on purpose to preserve the personal relationship they have with the medicine they make, the courses they offer, their community and with their daily life.  Bonnie Bloom is the founder and primary herbalist. It is with profound gratitude to the plants themselves and the desire to work closely with them that Blue Crow Botanicals began. Join Bonnie on Saturday, April 6 from 1 – 4 for an examination of ten or more essential herbs for creating and maintaining wellness, that, if understood and used wisely, can improve immunity, increase vitality, keep organ systems working well, and promote a calm frame of mind, $50.
