Event Details

Ann Marie Pauley from Anderson County Soil & Water will spill the tea on making tea with native plants. Learn what native plants are safe to make tea from, common methods of making tea, the benefits and potential risks of herbal teas, and discover the history of a plant known as "vomit tea." We will also taste some tea of our own. 

Disclaimer from ACSWCD: Some herbal teas can interfere with medications including blood thinners, antidepressants, birth control, anticoagulants, diuretics, and/or medications for bipolarism or diabetes. People with allergies to hollies, roses, pines, or any closely-related plants may have an allergic reaction to tea made from these plants. Herbal teas may be harmful to women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. If you fall into one of these categories, you may want to check with your doctor before consuming herbal teas.
