Natural Garden Medicine Workshop
2024-10-03 18:00 - 19:00 | Botanical Gardens, 2655 South Park Avenue, Buffalo, NY, 14218-1526, United States
Natural Garden Medicine Workshop

October 3, 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm
Cost: $45/ticket | $40.50/member

There is medicine growing all around us! From the beginning of time, humans have relied on nature to keep us healthy, but somewhere along the way we lost touch with the medicine that plants can provide. From herbal teas to salves and tinctures, there are a variety of ways that we can harness the power of plants to create herbal remedies right at home. In this hands-on session, we’ll use easy-to-grow medicinal herbs and combine them with honey and beeswax to create simple natural remedies. Each participant will leave with the remedies they create in class, and a feeling of empowerment to grow and create their own apothecary items at home. Registration closes on September 30.

Meet your instructor, Erin Masterson Holko!

Erin is a Buffalo area native. She grew up in East Aurora, working in the family garden center alongside her
dad and brothers. After attending Mount Mercy Academy in South Buffalo, she studied something
completely non-garden related at the University of Rochester. After graduating, she moved to San Diego,
CA where she did use her degree in Russian language for several years. After realizing that she much
preferred being outdoors and playing with plants and animals, Erin found herself back in the nursery
industry. Her city home garden grew to include not just fruits and vegetables, but chickens and eventually
honeybees. The more she learned about honeybees, the more the love for them grew. This passion turned
into a retail beekeeping supply store in San DIego where Erin taught others about urban beekeeping.
In 2016, Erin moved back to the Buffalo area, along with her husband and two sons. Today she lives in
West Falls with her family, a pack of golden retrievers, alpacas, donkeys, goats, chickens, and of course
honeybees. She works with her dad and her brother at Masterson’s Garden Center in East Aurora, where
she oversees green goods operations as well as many other areas of the business. In addition, she owns
and operates Beekeeper’s Garden Apothecary, growing and creating herbal remedies utilizing plants and
products sourced from the beehive

Event Information

EMBRACE THE MAGIC OF FAMILY IN AN ALL-NEW ADVENTURE THAT WILL SPARK YOUR IMAGINATION IN DISNEY ON ICE PRESENTS FROZEN & ENCANTO
Coming to KeyBank Center from October 17 – 19

Buffalo, NY (June 4, 2024) – For the first time, Disney On Ice invites families to step inside the magical adventures of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Frozen, the #1 Animated feature of all time, and Disney Animation’s Encanto, the 2022 Academy Award®, BAFTA®, and Golden Globe® Award winner for Best Animated Feature, as they come to life like never before. This adventure on ice transports fans into two of the most popular Disney films as audiences can sing-along to their favorite songs while embracing world-class ice skating, aerial acrobatics and more when Disney On Ice presents Frozen & Encanto skates into Buffalo playing from October 17-19, 2024 at KeyBank Center.

Audiences will see Anna, Elsa, Mirabel, and the Madrigal family live, as well as fan favorites Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald, Goofy, and many more.

Narrating the captivating story of Frozen is Olaf, the lovable snowman who likes warm hugs and all things summer. Astounding ice-skating transports families to Arendelle to be a part of Anna’s adventure to find Elsa, whose icy powers unleashed an eternal winter. Kristoff and Sven take fans along as they encounter wintry conditions in a race to bring back summer.

After a very Frozen adventure, audiences will journey to a vibrant town in the mountains of Colombia where they will meet the Madrigals, an extraordinary family who live in a magical casita in a wondrous, charmed place called an Encanto. Mirabel tells the tale of her amazing family and her journey to save the casita, her enchanted family home, alongside her sisters: Isabela, whose perfection radiates with her ability to make plants grow and flowers bloom with every step, and Luisa, with the gift of super strength that she uses to help her village move buildings and reroute rivers. For the first time live, fans can witness Tia Pepa, who can control the weather with her emotions; her husband Felix; their daughter Dolores, with her gift to hear; and Bruno, the mysterious and misunderstood Madrigal family member whose visions foretold the future.

In the end, audiences will learn that everyone has their own gifts, magical or not, and being true to yourself and loving those around you is what makes you special. YOU are the magic!
