Join us for a lovely evening with Erin Lovell Verinder as she discusses her new book, Plants for the People, with Georgina Reid, editor and creative director of The Planthunter!

Plants are our past. Plants are our future. We are diminished if we can’t celebrate plants, properly understand their powers and harness their energy to heal ourselves.

An antidote to the frenetic pace of modern life, Plants for the People offers a beginner’s guide to plant medicine as a source of self-care, vitality and wellness.

Plants for the People is an exploration of the plant world through the eyes of a master herbalist, weaving ancient wisdom with a modern approach to plant medicine. This is a beginner’s guide to using plants to restore vitality and a general sense of wellbeing, with recipes for easy-to-make teas, tinctures, syrups, balms and baths. Throughout there are golden tips and tonics for addressing common ailments such as bloating, bad skin, lack of energy, winter coughs and colds, jangling nerves and many other present-day complaints.

An evolution of herbal-medicine books of the past, Plants for the People is a modern presentation of an ancient craft. This is plant medicine’s time to shine.

6:00pm arrivals for 6:30pm start.
