Austin Herb Society Meeting: DIY Herbal Gift Baskets
November 4 @ 9:30 am – 12:00 pm
Presenter Autumn Schulze will cover five themed recipes and techniques to infuse herbs in useful, do-it-yourself gifts. She will explain how each recipe is therapeutically supportive and why certain herbs were chosen. Her presentation will include slides, handouts and demonstrations.
The program will offer ideas and instructions to create everyday herbal gifts, including candles, teas, salts, sugars and syrups made using lavender, chamomile and hibiscus. Autumn will also discuss herbal products designed to heal, soothe and relax: among these, echinacea tincture, elderberry elixir, comfrey salve, rose body oil and herbal sprays.
