Counting Down to the Solstice: Edible Gifts Workshop with Janet Melrose
November 5 from 7:00 to 9:00 pm
Now more than ever homemade gifts are valued by all, and especially so if they are edible! Everyone has their family traditions for baking and other tasty treats, but there is a world of edible gifts to make the season special for your family and friends.
This workshop includes:
• Learning about the lore of the Solstice and the celebrations around it
• Traditions of gifting with edibles
• Tips for planning your gifting-sourcing items not grown at home and/or harvesting those that you either grow yourself or forage for
• The range of edible gifting including ideas and techniques
• A selection of edible gifts – Immune Booster Tea, Herb Mix, Soup in a Jar, Barbeque Rub, Mint Sugar Scrub, and Dried Fruit Ornaments
• Finishing touches and decorations that are either edible themselves or are made from upcycled materials
Members: $50 | Non-Members: $65
