I have known Ginger Webb for many years now and have long been a fan of her herbal work known as Texas Medicinals. She makes a wide variety of tinctures, teas and tonics of the herbal variety – gathering many of the herbs herself during her wild harvest walks. I could list a whole host of my favorites -  with the number one being the mama’s little helper known as Stress Less. The names alone give comfort with tinctures such as Cough Calm, Digestive Cordial, Mental Clarity and more. And her teas too with names such as Strong Mama tea and Romanticka, which tends nicely to the heart and all it encompasses.

Ginger occasionally leads wild herb walks around Austin during which she shows and discusses the edible and medicinal plants that live amongst us. This month we are honored to be included in the first, of what we hope will be many, Slow Family Wild Herb Walk.

If you are going to be in Austin over Thanksgiving weekend we hope you will join us as we walk through Roy Guerrerro Park in East Austin and explore the edible and medicinal plants in our fair city. Here’s the details…

• Sunday, November 29th
• 10:30 a.m. to noon
• $15.00 per person or $25.00 per family
• 8200 Grove Boulevard, 78741 – (oddly it is not allowing a link to the proper address so just type it into google maps!)
• Please r.s.v.p. to Ginger Webb if you plan on attending

Seems like a way better option than heading out to the mall.
