The Old Fashioned Pharmacy

Thanks to everyone who came out to the medicinal garden talk. I had a great time! Here is the next upcoming event:

I will be partaking in the Museum of Vernon's Pharmacy Day on April the 28th. They will open up the old pharmacy in the museum for the public to get a closer look at the intriguing stuff in there. I will be at the museum between  1-5pm.

  • Talk about the History of Western Herbal Medicine, from the cave men to Dioscorides to modern herbalism.

  • Demonstration on how to make a mustard poultice, herbal infusion and tincture.

  • I'll be in the pharmacy to answer questions on the herbs on the shelves. Come and join a journey into an 1892 year pharmacy.

Admission is by donation.
Here is the link to the museums webpage for all the info about the pharmacy day.
