Wildcrafting: Summer Wreath and Herbal Salve - Sunday, July 23, 2023

Sunday, July 23: Learn to make your own nourishing herbal salve and wild-crafted crescent moon wreath from seasonal plants that we find at VMF's Volcan Mountain Nature Center.

VMF's Outdoor Naturalist Educator, Janice Smith, will lead a walk around the nature center to identify and collect plants and other botanical items for each project. The plants we choose will be infused into oil to make our herbal salve and to decorate crescent moon wreaths. Crescent moon wreaths are a beautiful and natural way to celebrate the summer season and decorate your home.
