Bring new life to your beverages with fresh ingredients you can grow at home! Join San Francisco gardeners Carey Craddock and Jordan Kushins for this spirited introduction to botanicals, including: how to preserve a variety of flowers and herbs in simple syrups, vinegar shrubs, salts, and infusions; and how to use garden garnishes to make your cocktails, low-ABV, and non-alcoholic refreshers taste amazing (and look fantastic!).
Everyone will leave this hands-on session with their own custom botanical creations, and inspiration to experiment making delicious drinks.
About the Grow + Make Series
This is part one of a four-part Grow + Make series led by Carey and Jordan this year. They are standalone sessions, but each will build on the last for repeat attendees. Stay tuned for upcoming classes:
• 8/15/26: Grow + Make: Everything is Jewelry — Forage and design plant stuff (leaves and flowers, pods and wood) into uniquely ephemeral accessories.
• 12/5/26: Grow + Make: Botanical Print Cards and Presses — Learn to print holiday cards with fresh leaves and flowers, and put together a portable plant press to keep or gift!
