Florence Arts and Museums is partnering with Summer McCreless, an herbalist who specializes in regional plant and material knowledge, to conduct a series of workshops, presentations, and demonstrations where participants can explore aspects of our region’s tangible history.

Join us at Pope’s Tavern Museum on Sunday, October 8, 2023 at 2pm for an herbal remedies workshop. This workshop will provide an opportunity for people to engage with the history of some native plants of the southeastern states, while learning about their medicinal uses. Attendees will have the opportunity to receive recipes and purchase homemade remedies.

Summer McCreless has been practicing herbalism for over 11 years, teaching herbal education and plant identification and uses in North Alabama. She has over 20 years of experience and education in plant identification in the United States.
