Each week we will focus on one plant that is in season- how to identify, what properties each plant contains, and how to use them to enhance our every day life, using a variety of reference materials. 


 After a few weeks of study, we will offer workshops on how to take this acquired plant knowledge and use it to make tinctures, infused oils, salves, and medicinal tea blends


 Cost: $10 (or equal trade)


 Bring your own study notebook to fill with information, including room for sketches - and any reference material to learn from. 


 Send us a message or email themajesticartcafe@gmail.com with any questions/to enroll in the group study
