Wicomico Public Library will host Habanera Farm, a local herb farm, December 14th from 10 am to 2 pm to create homemade herbal tea blends for Christmas gifts.
Henriette den Ouden, a Salisbury native and cofounder of Habanera Farm in Wicomico County, will present a variety of health benefits from herbal medicines well as different combinations of herbs to create a homemade tea. Ouden has a Master’s degree in Herbal Medicine from Tai Sophia Institute in Laurel, MD. Habanera Farm is the first licensed herbal tea processor and producer in Maryland who also added the nation’s first solar thermal herb dryer in 2011 to produce teas in an energy efficient manner.
The Makers at Your Library program, funded in part by the Salisbury Wicomico Arts Council, invites the community to explore the range of talents and skills of local craftspeople at hands on workshops. Last month featured Misty Kelly, local craft entrepreneur, who demonstrated the do-it-yourself process of making soaps, bath salts, lip balm, and other personal care products. In February, the program will feature Baltimore screen painting. The program series are free and open to everyone. Children accompanied by an adult are welcome.
Wicomico Public Library has locations in Downtown Salisbury, the Centre at Salisbury, in Pittsville, a computer access station in Bivalve, and the Library Bookmobile. Not only does the Wicomico Public Library offer numerous resources such as free Internet access, a variety of classes and events, and an online virtual library with eBooks, but it engages with the community by supporting learning, building community, and enriching lives. You Belong @ Wicomico Public Library!
