Santa Barbara Herbal Exchange May Meeting

Calling all plant people! Join us for the Santa Barbara Herbal Exchange, a community gathering for herb and plant enthusiasts. We meet on the 4th Thursday of the Month to share plants, seeds, ideas, skills, recipes, and knowledge. Each meeting features a Botanical Skill Share.

This month, Lindsay Kolasa will teach a class on Herbs for Mental Health. Lindsay Kolasa is a Community Herbalist, Traditional Food Ways Educator, Naturalist, and Yoga Teacher. As an herbalist, Lindsay’s main areas of focus are digestion, mental health, and trauma. Lindsay has taught at large conferences, such as the Southeast Women’s Herb Conference, and for small groups, such as feisty garden clubs. She also ran an apothecary for 5 years in the Deep South.

Increase your knowledge of medicinal plants and learn from peers and experts! The Herbal Exchange is open to anyone who wants to learn more about the Botanical World. Bring seeds, plants, herbal products to share if you have them. If you don’t, you are still welcome.
