Apothecary Garden: Rosemary Harvests

​We’ll be tending to the abundant rosemary growing in the garden in front of the Apothecary and spending time in collective care and gratitude.

​Together we will:

• ​Make offerings and give thanks

• ​Clear grasses and mints growing beneath and through the rosemary

• ​Gently prune branches and newer growth

• ​Share harvested rosemary to take home for further processing

​Please bring:

• ​Water

• ​Pruning shears or scissors

• ​A bag to take home rosemary

• ​A small offering (libations, incense, a song, or other sacred herbs)

​Additional notes:

• ​Some rosemary has white spotting. Because of this, it may not be ideal for ingesting or propagation, but can still be used for incense or offering blends.

• ​Space in the garden is limited. Depending on turnout, we may rotate in small groups.

• ​Any leftover harvested rosemary will be placed next to the garden. Feel free to stop by later during our open hours Wednesday - Friday 1:00 pm - 6:00 pm
