With CBD medication being so heavily promoted, many of you are looking for facts from a trusted source. We will cover the science behind Cannabinoids, the direct relationship it has with our Endocannabinoid system, and which cannabis compounds you, individually, should be looking for. We will go over how to source quality CBD and how to get the benefits. CBD has incredible properties, I promise after this workshop, you will be comfortable using and sharing this beautiful medicine with your friends and family.

It’s almost February and time for the EHS Annual Chili Cook-off! Make your best chili and enter it into our contest. This has been such a big hit, that we decided to do it again!
Everyone brings at least a quart of their favorite chili (and the recipe!). Each entry will be assigned a number and we’ll make up small servings in cups. Then everyone votes for their top 3 favorites. We’ll print at least the 3 top chili recipes in the next newsletter.
Greetings All,
Happy 2019 to us all! We have a great shiny new year ahead of us, with lots of herb events to look forward to this year at EHS.
I want to first start with welcoming two members who have joined our board. First, KC Foster a long time member with EHS, behind the scenes helper and baker extraordinaire, will be Assistant Secretary. Pam Wilcox, friend and EHS member for many years as well, will be an Herbal Advisor, using her vast herbal knowledge and broad herbalist network to help us keep moving forward with new ideas and suggestions.
The rest of our board remains the same. Vice President, Leslie Rigg. Secretary, Marci Green. Treasurer, Ingrid Menz. Asst. Treasurer, Bernard Pages. Newsletter Editor, Cathy Azzarello. Web Mistress and Research, Mary Wickensheimer. President, Meg Vandereedt. Without our EHS Board, we could not function. A huge Thank You to all our Board Members.
Our January meeting is one I am excited about. We will have Florida Native Herbologist, Laura Olson from euFloria Healing speak on CBD Medicine, a definite “hot topic”. Many people are looking to ease various painful symptoms without the aid of “Big Pharm drugs”. This talk will hopefully guide you on the path to a more natural approach for your body.
Looking forward, in February we a thrilled to have Indian Chef Nirali Patel come back to us for another cooking demo, with all the beautiful herbs and spices of Indian cuisine! March, our loved, All things Herbal Auction will return, so start looking for those treasures to donate and bid on. And I just got confirmation that Katie Haley, owner of Cosmic Flowers Aromatherapy and Yoga Fusion Delray Beach FL will be here in April.

The Master Gardener Fall Class of 2017 is helping the Coleman Park after school kids learn to grow their own food and we are in need of some herb donations for the garden. Many of these children aren’t always sure where their next meal will come from and the garden will give them food to take home for their families to enjoy and teach them how to grow their own food at home. A farmer donated vegetable seeds but the kids want to grow herbs too. If you have some extra seeds or some cuttings you can donate to the garden please contact Chris Radentz at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or (561) 889-8343 or bring your donation to the September or October EHS meeting. We will have someone at these meetings to pick up any donations. If you are interested in volunteering to help with the garden project please contact Chris at the contact information above. We thank you in advance for your help with this community project!
