Recipes & Remedies Mini Retreat
Escape to the peaceful countryside of Sweethaven for a day of tasting, exploring, and creating. Start the morning with tea and lavender lemon scones, then learn about healthful herbs from the Herbalist's Garden founder Amanda Carpenter, and be guided through blending a delicious tea to take home. Relish picnicking in the fields, then immerse yourself in nature through a guided foraging walk in the woods for supplies to add to a stunning live succulent wreath you’ll fashion with the help of the Rusted Rabbit's founder Melissa Tebbenhoff as a meaningful keepsake of your day self care.
You'll walk away from this tranquil retreat with a tea blend and succulent wreath of your own creation, along with vast knowledge of herbs, nature, and living design you can carry with you.
