The herbs that you need for health and wellness are growing in gardens, on vacant lots, and in untamed places throughout your region. In this 4 part workshop I’m going to show you how to find them, how to turn them into herbal remedies, to build your personal herbal remedies apothecary.
These are skills that our foremothers had. However, many of us grew up without learning this essential knowledge. Our lives are poorer and less healthy for the loss of these skills. For years I’ve taught these skills through in-person workshops, online classes, and through my membership — The DIY Herbal Fellowship. I’ve also written many articles on my blog — Joybilee Farm — as well as in magazines like The Biblical Herbal, — to help you reclaim these skills.
While 80% of the earth’s population rely on traditional herbal remedies as their primary health care, there is a move by western governments to remove access to herbal supplements through increased fees and regulations. Canada introduced legislation in February of 2023 that increased fees and regulations that “natural health products” and “natural cosmetics” must adhere to, in order to be sold in Canada. UK, New Zealand, Australia, and the USA are also perusing higher fees and regulatory red tape making it harder for natural health companies to compete with Pharmaceutics, limiting access to supplements and herbal remedies. Already in Canada 60% of the natural health products have been removed from the marketplace, limiting access to natural remedies.
Herbal remedies are growing all around you. You can learn to identify them and make your own remedies and stock your own herbal apothecary for your family, year after year. Saving you money and giving you the freedom to choose herbal remedies, when you want to or OTC and prescription pharmaceuticals when YOU feel those are appropriate. In the Wildcrafting Wellness Workshop I’m going to show you how to identify these medicinal herbs and how to turn them into herbal remedies to build your own herbal remedies apothecary, that you can rely on.
Forage for the herbs you need and to turn them into potent, reliable, and effective herbal remedies, using the tips in this workshop.
In this first workshop, you’re going to discover a blueprint for using weeds and wild plants intentionally for health and wellbeing. This is going to immediately help you to find the herbs you need and to turn them into potent, reliable, and effective herbal remedies. Once you get this down, you’ll start gaining confidence in identifying, harvesting, and crafting herbal remedies and replacing many of the products you might currently be stocking in your bathroom medicine cabinet. You’ll be started on the path to crafting your own herbal apothecary.
Workshop Objective
The goal of this workshop is simple: to help you easily and confidently learn to harvest herbs and make herbal remedies so that you can take charge of your own well being, and maybe even help your friends and family with your knowledge of herbs.
Today I’ll show you the first step by helping you to find the herbs you need, and showing you when to harvest them for the most potency, so you can take control of your own well being.
And that will give you a greater opportunity to experience natural health, vitality, and maybe even give you the tools you need to craft safe and reliable remedies for your family and friends, too.

I’m confident that a good God, who provides in so many ways, has also provided us nurturing native plants in our area. But I am pretty clueless. With a family of seven, I have lots of opportunity to treat people! So far I have used plantain, mullein, calendula, and heal-all. Garlic, oregano, and horseradish were already in the mix, but now I am growing them.
