Each spring, or pre-spring, Lori hosts a large-scale event called HerbalCon. This is an informational and educational event for those looking to create a sustainable relationship with herbs, plants, nature, and the environment sustainably. That may look different for every single person. HerbalCon was created to offer more information so we may develop this relationship in our own individual ways.

Tickets for HerbalCon may be purchased in the “shop.” CLICK HERE TO GET THERE —>>>>> TICKETS
