The Art & Science of Herbal Tea

Celebrate and savor the delicate flavors of summer with Spoonful Herbals and “Afternoon Teatime” overlooking the lake and flower gardens from the North Porch of the Inn! Local herbalists Katherine Elmer and Kara Buchanan will provide delicious herbal infusions and artisan sweet baked goods (gluten free available) featuring locally grown or wild-crafted medicinal plants. There will be a brief introduction to the art and science of herbal tea blending for flavor and healing benefits. 

Spoonful Herbals is the collaborative effort of community herbalists and educators Katherine Elmer and Kara Buchanan. Spoonful offers an annual Herbal CSA, a six-month Community Herbalism Apprenticeship program, and a Herb Mobs program that engages volunteers to bring locally harvested (gleaned) medicinal plants into our apothecary from local organic farms and green spaces such as Shelburne Farms.
