Plantain Salve Making

Join us on Saturday, June 2 from 10:30am-12pm to make a jar of salve with plantain harvested on the ENC site. Plantain is used by many Indigenous groups as an excellent balm to heal cuts and clear up dry skin. We will combine pre-dried plantain with coconut oil, grape seed oil, and beeswax and you will also go home with plantain harvested during the workshop to make more at home! The fee for this workshop is only $5 and 30 spots are available.

Date: Saturday, June 21, 2025
Time: 10:30am-12pm
Location: Ellis Nature Centre
Cost: $5 per person
Spots available: 30
