Winter Herbal Remedies Mini Course - 12 lessons

with instructor Karin Kliewer, community herbalist based at Little City Farm


Take part in this exciting introductory level 12 week Winter Herbal Remedies mini course! Get one new full colour PDF lesson sent to your inbox each week, with:

  • individual plant profiles,
  • herbal folklore,
  • plant uses/interactions/cautions,
  • starting herb seedlings,
  • growing & harvesting tips,
  • detailed instructions recipes to try at home,
  • one herbal preparation method per week,
  • suggestions on where to source ingredients & supplies


We will focus on one plant per week as well as one herbal preparation method, and encourage you to try out at least a few of these recipes to build your herbal medicine cabinet over the winter months! These remedies are wonderful for winter health, but of course can be used all year round. The herbal methods we will cover are applicable to be used with many other herbs throughout all seasons. We will include instructions for where to source the best quality herbs for these winter projects.


We will be covering 12 plants that can be locally grown (and/or wild-harvested), so you can grow or source these plants for your own garden in 2021 if you want to continue this herbal learning journey!


Each week we will have opportunity for email questions to instructor Karin Kliewer.


We will focus on:

1) Thyme - Making infused honey

2) Sage - Making herbal throat sprays

3) Marshmallow - Making pastilles

4) Bergamot - Making oxymels

5) Cayenne - Making fire cider tonics

6) Reishi - Making immune-boosting medicinal herbal soups

7) Cedar - Making herbal steams

10) Elder - Making elderberry syrup

11) Yarrow - Making tinctures

12) Echinacea - Making whole plant tinctures


Limited space. Registration will be available online, on a first come basis. Although this mini course is geared toward adults, this is also a great project to take on with homeschooled kids, middle school, or teens, as a fun home-learning project.


DATES: This mini course runs from January 4 - March 22, 2021
