Black Herbalist Roundtable
Join us on April 4th from 12–2 PM EST for ahybrid gathering of Black herbalists from across the country. Whether you join us in-person at Ancestors' Dream Apothecary in Baltimore or virtually via Zoom, this space is for you. We’ll connect, share what we’re navigating, explore ways to collaborate, and discuss how we care for ourselves while doing the work of healing our communities. Open to Black herbalists of all ages and stages. Let’s build together.
Plant Propagation Party at ADA
Let’s celebrate life, growth, and friendship—just like our favorite plants! Join me for an intimate gathering at Ancestors’ Dream Apothecary on Saturday, April 12th, from 12PM–2PM, where we’ll sip tea, share stories, and propagate plants together. Whether you're a seasoned plant parent or just starting your indoor jungle journey, this party is the perfect way to nurture connections and greenery.
Bring one or more plants that can be propagated, and you’ll leave with new cuttings to grow your collection—just like taking a little piece of our time together home with you.
🌸 A Bittersweet Note 🌸
This celebration also marks a heartfelt moment—this will be the final event hosted in our beloved physical space, as Ancestors’ Dream Apothecary will be closing its shop doors on April 30th. While this isn’t goodbye to the apothecary’s work, it is a goodbye to the physical space that has held so much healing, growth, and community love. So come through, make memories, and help me honor this sacred space one last time—with tea, plants, and your beautiful presence.
It’s going to be a tea time full of love, laughter, and leaves. 💚
