A herb farm that specializes in alternative and holistic health services, Herboristerie La Fée des Bois Apothecary often hosts workshops where members of the public can attend to learn more about naturopathic and self-sufficiency concepts.

On Friday, Herboristerie La Fée des Bois Apothecary offered a seminar on spring wild plants. Overseen by owner and operator Mariane Desjardins Roy, the spring wild plants seminar focused on teaching participants how to identify and . . .

harvest local plants. In addition to identification and harvesting, Roy – who is a certified herbalist – discussed the edibility and medicinal properties of the plants themselves.
