This workshop centers on four powerful herbal allies — tulsi, peppermint, lemon verbena, and rosemary —plants known for their ability to support the immune system, stress response, and overall vitality, and reduce inflammation. Together, we’ll explore how caring for these plants and using them intentionally creates a living bridge between garden, kitchen, and body.

This experience brings together two expert perspectives for a truly holistic approach:
