Wild Foraged Herbal Tea Workshop at Mckinney Meadow

When: July 8th, 3:00pm - 5:00pm 

Where: McKinney Meadow, Cashiers School Rd. Cashiers, NC 28717

Join us at the lush and historic McKinney Meadow—a beautifully restored wildflower and pollinator habitat cared for by Highlands‑Cashiers Land Trust—where you’ll learn hands-on how to identify, sustainably harvest, and craft your own custom herbal teas using locally foraged plants. Our knowledgeable guides from HCLT will walk you through the meadow’s diversity—an ecological gem in the heart of Cashiers—and share tips on traditional beverage preparation using nature’s bounty. 

You’ll discover native ingredients thriving in the meadow landscape, explore responsible foraging practices, and enjoy sipping your freshly brewed wild‑crafted tea in community. This friendly, family‑inclusive experience combines plant science, conservation education, and tasting all wrapped up in an immersive outdoor gathering.

What to bring: reusable cup or mug, water bottle, sun protection, closed‑toe shoes, notebook (optional). All materials and a selection of foraged botanicals will be provided.
