Did you see!? Back by popular demand is the Nourishing with Nettles Workshop, and this time with the support and partnership of the Lower Nehalem Community Trust! Our Health and Wellness Navigator, Megan, will be facilitating the second offering of this free, hands-on, two-part workshop on Friday, April 24th, and Friday, May 8th, 2026, 3-4:30pm in the Leila Salmon Community Room.

In the first session, participants will be introduced to nettles and begin crafting an oxymel—a traditional herbal remedy known for its anti-inflammatory properties and immune system support. When participants return for the second session, their fully cured oxymel will be ready to take home and they'll also get to sample a tasty nettle pesto.

Space is limited and spots will go quick! Please see below for all the details.

Back by popular demand! Next Friday, join NBHC Health and Wellness Navigator Megan Abben and the Lower Nehalem Community Trust at the Nehalem Bay Health Center and Pharmacy for a two-part workshop exploring the nourishing power of nettles. This hands-on class invites you to craft a nettle Oxymel, sample a delicious nettle pesto, and learn how this vibrant, humble herb can support gentle renewal as the seasons change.

8 spots are available, all supplies included. Email maijahecht@nehalemtrust.org to sign-up!

Today community members, providers, and staff came together to plant the first iteration of our own little herb garden. We got our hands dirty learning a hügelkultur planting style, layering aged alder logs, wood chips, compost and worm castings to create a nutrient rich foundation where our herbs can thrive. Everyone pitched in; we sipped tea under the sun, and together we created something beautiful.

This is just the beginning! We'll gather in the spring to add more nectar-rich, pollinator-loving plants, and annuals. If you happen to spot a lemon balm and mint plant, don't worry! They're just overwintering for now before moving into their own containers.

Stay tuned as we work to create a simple system for people to harvest, share, and divide the herbs as the garden grows.

A huge THANK YOU to Nehalem Bay Garden Club, Nehalem Bay Health District, and our friends at Alder Creek Farm for making this project possible.
