All About Herbs: Why Plants Are Considered Nature’s Medicine

The event will begin with an immersive course, led by Conner Parrish, Founder & CEO of Bloomistry, during which you’ll discover the powerful healing properties of herbs and learn why they are considered nature’s medicine. Designed for beginners and herbal enthusiasts alike, this course will explore the medicinal benefits of common herbs, their traditional uses, and how to incorporate them into daily life for natural wellness. You’ll receive your very own organic tea kit to take home with you! After the workshop, head out into the gardens with Conner and an Agecroft staff member to look for and learn about the various herbs growing at Agecroft Hall and Gardens, particularly those that found their way into the works of Elizabethan playwright William Shakespeare. Agecroft is home to the first “Shakespeare Garden” in Virginia after all!
