Desert Foothills Library: Herbal Chaparral Salve-Making Class

You may not know it, but that distinctive scent in the desert air when it rains comes from the chaparral bush (Larrea tridentata) — an important desert plant that has been used traditionally for thousands of years for its healing properties. In the Chaparral Salve-Making Workshop, you’ll learn all about chaparral, including where to find it, how and when to harvest it, its traditional uses and how to make your own chaparral salve and infused oil. Takeaways include 1 oz. salve and 3 to 4 oz. chaparral-infused oil.
