Join us at Garden Goodness Smithfield for a hands-on workshop with herbalist Danyell, where you’ll learn the simple, practical art of drying fresh medicinal herbs straight from the garden.

Whether you’re brand new to herbalism or already growing your own healing plants, this workshop will guide you through the best methods for harvesting, drying and storing herbs so you can create your own herbal teas, tinctures and wellness blends at home.

Together, we’ll explore:

🌿 Different drying techniques and when to use each
🍃 How to preserve colour, aroma and potency
🍵 Using dried herbs to make teas, tonics and tinctures
