About this Event

You will learn how to make herbal medicine, facial creams, and other cosmetics from garden plants and flowers without expensive equipment. Save money. Grow your own. Make your own! Bring a portable chair and notebook to take notes. 🌿 The workshop is lead by Ayo Ma’at, a Vedgewater Garden Leader with 50 years gardening experience. Ma’at has gardened and taught organic and veganic gardening to adults and youth. Maat is an organic seed saver, nutritional educator, and Quantum Living Advocate (QLA). She continues her research studies in organic gardening from the sacred monastic medicine perspective. She resonates with community gardening, whole health, and a silent ministry of Love and Peace. Despite her use of a wheelchair, she continues to garden. She is a vegan who eats organic. She has gardened in West Ridge, Rogers Park, Edgewater, Uptown, Woodlawn, Bronzeville, and Eden Green. She was first taught vegetable gardening without chemicals by her mother in Chicago and experienced as a child the wonders of farming and wild herbs growing in the Cherokee Creole tradition on her grandmother’s Louisiana farm.
