Tradition-carrying Caribbean ethnobotanist and friend of the Garden Aleya Fraser is in the area just long enough to share some plant medicine love with our community, and we don’t want to wait til the monthly update to give folks time to plan. Join us to learn about this rich and diverse herbal tradition by meeting some of the plants in their indoor winter homes and sampling herbal infusions & chocolate, in addition to tradition-carrier Aleya’s training and personal experience!

Aleya will share some of the tradition of plant usage in Trinidad and Tobago which are shared throughout the Caribbean. You will learn how you can incorporate bush teas and bush baths into your life.

Learn how Trinidadians and Caribbeans at large understand herb energetics like bitter, cooling, and warming. Samples of several infusions will be prepared & shared. We’ll be discussing how to make the herbal infusions, as well as the medicine, folklore, and cultural considerations for each herb. All participants will be given a PDF detailing 4 indigenous Trinidad herbs as well as a chocolate product made by the presenter from Trinidadian Cacao beans.
