Hosted in partnership with Iris Wellness Limited to 12 participants — an intimate, hands‑on gathering
Join us for a cozy, hands-on workshop where you’ll learn how to make your own herbal salve from start to finish. This small gathering is designed for anyone curious about herbalism, natural skincare, or simple home apothecary skills. No experience needed — just a willingness to learn and enjoy the process.
Together, we’ll explore St. John’s Wort, a bright, sun-loving plant traditionally used to support skin wellness. Herbalists have long worked with its vibrant flowers for their vulnerary qualities — supporting the skin’s natural recovery — and for soothing areas of minor nerve discomfort when applied topically. You’ll learn how to identify it in the wild, how to harvest it ethically at peak potency, and how to transform its fresh blossoms into a richly infused oil. From there, we’ll walk step-by-step through creating a salve you can confidently recreate at home.
How to identify and ethically harvest St. John’s Wort
Traditional skin-supportive qualities of the plant
How to work with its fresh flowers for optimal extraction
Proper drying and preparation techniques
How to make a St. John’s Wort–infused oil
How to turn infused oils into salves
Tips for customizing salves for your family’s needs
Each participant will leave with:
A freshly made 1 oz tin of St. John’s Wort salve
A printed recipe + instructions
A deeper understanding of one of herbalism’s most beloved summer allies
This gathering is intentionally capped at 12 participants to keep the experience personal, supportive, and hands-on. You’ll have plenty of space to ask questions, connect, and truly learn the craft. It’s a perfect workshop for beginners, makers, gardeners, parents, and anyone wanting to bring more natural care into their home.
