Medicinal Herb Gardening Workshop with Shaman Jesus and Austin Davenport

Dig into the ancient wisdom and modern practice of medicinal herb gardening at the Austin Public Library! Join Cultivation Coach Austin Davenport and Shaman Jesus Garcia for a hands-on, adult-only workshop exploring how to grow and use medicinal herbs.

Austin Davenport will guide you through the essentials of planning, planting, and nurturing a thriving herb garden, while Shaman Jesus Garcia will share the traditional properties and practical applications of native medicinal plants—connecting gardening to wellness, culture, and care for the land.

Bonus for early birds: The first 40 attendees will receive a free 4-inch herb seedling, so you can head home ready to plant and immediately put your new knowledge into practice.
