Join ASWCD for "Native Tea Making" at the Anderson Main Library on Thursday, August 21st, at 5:30pm - 6:30pm. We will walk through several tips on foraging, preserving, and steeping tea using native and naturalized plants you can find in the Upstate. We will specifically focus on the yaupon holly (Ilex vomitoria) plant, and its interesting history. We will finish by tasting some yaupon holly tea.
