Adult Community Education | Health & Wellness | 2-hour workshop
Join Registered Holistic Nutritionist and Herbalist Racheal Schnarr for this year's new and refreshed Home Herbalist Series. This series is more immersive, covers new herbs, and features new seasonal info booklets.
The Spring instalment of the Home Herbalist Series will focus on spring teas, steams, poultices and more. We'll learn about Spring Herbalism including which herbs to harvest locally and preparations you can make at home (including a wild spring salad!), then we'll make our own custom herbal tea and steam formulas. An assistant will be available during this practical portion, so that Racheal is available to assist you in depth with making your own personalized formula.

Instructor Bio: Racheal Schnarr
Racheal Schnarr is a Registered Holistic Nutritionist (R.H.N.) and Herbalist who studied at the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition and Pacific Rim College.
In addition to working as an R.H.N., Racheal operates a small botanical dispensary using herbs grown exclusively in her garden. She lives her passion of “connecting people with plants” both in her private business and previously at Pacific Horticulture College as past College Administrator.
Through years of practicing clinical nutrition at multidisciplinary clinics as well as in her own private practice, she tapped into her passion for sharing the power of holistic nutrition and herbal medicine with her clients. Racheal's practice and classes are fun, hands-on, empowering, education based and are led in a supportive and open environment. Developing a deep relationship with plants, growing herbal medicine, ethical harvesting, food growing, food justice and living in reciprocity with the land on which we grow, forage, and learn are pillars in Racheal's practice and everyday life. She enjoys getting fresh air and her hands dirty when in her home garden, foraging the wild with her dog Josie, and occasionally working for her sister, a Landscape Horticulturist.
