Workshop 08/08/26: Foraged Herbal Salves with Camilla Voelker

Saturday August 8, 2026 10:30am -12:30pm 

Further your herbal skills by learning how to make a salve that’s great for chapped hands, or cracked skin. In the first part of the class, we will take a walk to nearby Highland Park to talk about the how to's of how to forage plants for salves. Together we will see some of the common plants used in healing salves up close. We’ll head back to the shop where you’ll learn how to make your very own herbal salve from start to finish. 

Salves are a topical preparation that may be used for soothing bug bites, sore muscles, chapped skin or lips, or as a moisturizer. The herbs we use will depend on what is available at the time of the class, making this a special seasonal blend. You'll take home your own 1 oz tin of herbal-infused salve and recipe.

Workshop will begin at Gathered Botanicals Storefront. Once our group is gathered we will all head down to Highland Park together.
