Get dirty every Wednesday from 4:30 – 5:30 in our bilingual learning patch. Weeding, watering, planting and growing community is what we’re up to, and you can too!
October Update
We were busy in late Summer!
Share Fair, a monthly community resource event in Eugene, finally reset after a long pandemic ‘holiday’ and we were there with our herb care station August 21, 2-6pm at Monroe Park.
In August we served up some respiratory remedies at the Mountain Rose Herbs Annex on the 28th. Fire season is no joke, and HWBEugene herbal team was there to roll out some herbal remedies for respiratory relief. We shared some recipes & formulas, and went over plant possibilities and their constituents regarding seasonal lung complaints throughout the year. Participants were able to sample remedies and take home their own sample with recipe instructions.
In September, we held a Soothe Your Nerves event, which taught attendees how nervines work, which herbal allies to call upon when the need strikes, and how to make a handy herbal preparation to add to their herbal wellness kit.
Stay tuned for updates about our Harvest and Holiday time fire cider / elderberry tincture classes in the upcoming months as we approach the end of the year!
June 2022 Update
Hi there!
An update about the garden project at the Skinner Community Garden (which doesn’t have a clever name yet, but wants one):
Project Garden is in development. We’ve got 4 squares – 2 medicinal plots, 1 salsa plot and 1 children’s plot. Programming, signage & events are pending. Stay tuned for updates! Want to help? email hwbeugene@gmail.com
The rose workshop at Mountain Rose Herbs Annex raised money, made medicine for the Uvalde grief relief project and made new friends!
Next workshop is all about yarrow Sunday, June 26, 1-3pm. We’ll discuss uses, lore and demonstrate the stovetop method for making hydrosols.
May 2022 Update
It’s been awhile since our last update – we’ve been keeping busy!
Overwintering in a pandemic was a time for wellness care packs and covid care packs.
We taught a fire cider class at the Huerto Churchill garden and the community made 5 gallons to distribute!
In March we began hosting workshops at Mountain Rose Herb’s annex. There’s a different topic each time, usually a demonstration of making an easy herbal remedy and participants take home a sample as well as the instructions to make it themselves. You’ll find us there the last Sunday of each month from 1-3pm. This month’s offering will be “All About Rose.”
BotanicFest happened this year – after a long pandemic pause and a rain delay – and we were there too!
We did some design work on our learning garden at the Skinner City Community Garden in Eugene OR and have begun implementing that intention. We’re so excited to partner with Huerto de la Familia once again on this garden patch to develop a bi-lingual sharing space where people will come together to learn and share knowledge about the plant world in Spanish & English!
HWB Eugene Fundraiser Event
All about Rose
More than just a beautiful flower, rose offers many beneficial medicinal properties. Join the HWBEugene herbal team to learn about this versatile plant. From skincare to tasty treats, and even promoting wellness, rose is a plant to delight in. Participants will learn about the different properties of rose, sample edible and body care products, and walk away with easy recipes they can do at home.
This is a fundraiser for HWBEugene. Sliding scale suggested donation is $5 to $50. We’re an all-volunteer non-profit organization and every dollar goes toward the cost of making more quality herbal products that we distribute for free.

Shout out to Evan at Eugene Backyard Farmer for letting us snip a bagful of rosemary for medicine-making! Its abundant and aromatic uses will be a wonderful addition to our repertoire of remedies during this pandemic time of endurance and immune support. Thank you for sharing!
