 Dr. Eugene Zampieron, ND, RH[AHG}  [Dr.Z Naturally ], and the Glebe House Museum and Gertrude Jekyll Garden are pleased to offer a webinar and hands-on workshop entitled:

 Herbal Medicines of  Colonial America

The event will be presented in two parts:

Part one: Wednesday, September 23rd at 6:00 pm.  Dr. Z's remote Zoom presentation will cover the history of colonial medicine, including the folklore, chemistry, and medicinal applications of herbs common during that era. He will also instruct on designing herbal formulas and understanding their potencies.

Part two: Saturday, September 26th, at 11:00 am. Join us for a journey into colonial herbalism. The event begins with a brief garden tour and a discussion of medicinal herbs.

Afterwards, join a practical workshop where you'll craft traditional colonial remedies. We'll utilize herbs gathered from our garden, sourced from the wild, and bought to prepare a classic cough medicine and an immune tonic using apple cider vinegar, all in the tradition of colonial methods.

All participants will leave the workshop with completed projects, ready for personal use.
