Upcoming Events

Take home a bottle of fresh rose geranium hydrosol, distilled right from the garden by Susan Seitz, an extraordinary herbalist and medicine maker, using her exquisite copper still. Then step into the tasting dome for homemade fall-inspired kombuchas by Doug Reil.

There's more to explore, too: a guided garden walk with Jane Straight, and a hands-on workshop with Jacqueline López, where you'll learn to identify native conifers, ethically harvest resin, and craft your own medicinal salves and balms.

Join us as we welcome the Autumn Equinox and celebrate the abundance of the season at Shulgin Farm. We'll gather in gratitude for the gifts of the land, plants, and people that have nourished and inspired us throughout the year.

Bring a favorite snack to share as we enjoy good conversation and the changing season together.

We also invite you to wear your favorite fall colors. Whether it's autumn leaves, harvest hues, cozy layers, or creative nature-inspired attire, we'd love to see your interpretation of the season.

For those of you who couldn't make our last cactus grafting workshop, come join us on Sunday, October 25, from 1-5PM, at the historic Shulgin Farm for a workshop led by Dr. Paul Daley and Bo Xu.

This educational and practical workshop will explore:

• Cactus Grafting Techniques: Learn how to graft Trichocereus cacti, an essential propagation method for improving growth rates in rare and desirable specimens. This session will include a hands-on tutorial covering practical techniques to ensure successful unions. No prior cactus cultivation experience is required.
• Plant Alkaloid Extraction (Non-Cactus): A demonstration of safe methods for extracting legal alkaloids from plant material, offering an introduction to the fascinating chemical properties of plants.

Participants will receive a grafted cactus cutting planted in a small pot to care for and nurture at home.
