Join Ellis Nature Centre staff on Sunday, July 27 from 1:30-3pm as we make dandelion salve! Similar to plantain, dandelion salve is useful for sore muscles, achy and arthritic joints, and rough, chapped skin. We’ll not only teach folks how to make the salve and send you home with some, but you’re welcome to harvest more dandelions to take home with you. This workshop is only $8 per person and 32 spots are available. We recommend registering early to ensure you have a spot in the workshop!
