“Backyard Apothecary: Growing Herbs to Keep Your Friends and Family Healthy”

Speaker Gayle Engels

​

Program Focus: Did you know that the apothecary is actually the person, not the place? Apothecaries were the forerunners of pharmacists. And did you know that many of the herbs that you grow are beneficial to your health when prepared in food or teas, or can be incorporated into simple preparations to will help you, your family, and your (trusting) friends stay healthy in times of colds, flu, and stress? There are many herbs and spices that can support a healthy microbiome, which might make you less susceptible to illness, and you are probably growing and using some of these plant allies already. Let’s learn more!
