Sip, savor, and get inspired! Join us for a hands-on workshop where we’ll explore the art of crafting herbal beverages perfect for Florida’s heat. We’ll focus on using seasonal and local ingredients, discovering the benefits of edible plants and their flavor profiles. You’ll sample a few of our favorite recipes and play mixologist, using our herbal infusions and crafting your own. Taste refreshing infusions, experiment with botanical syrups, and mix up seasonal mocktails and cocktails bursting with flavor. We will also share tips on herbal garnishes and sample herb-infused bar snacks. Whether you’re a plant lover, a home entertainer, or simply seeking new ways to cool down, you’ll leave with delicious recipes and plenty of inspiration.

Lauren will also provide an herbal market by Everyday Herbals to purchase handcrafted herbal support, culinary creations & body care.

Registration includes admission to the beautiful gardens before class.
