Explore herbalism and tea in a Charleston Plant Walk

Join a local herbalist for a tea ceremony and plant walk in Pinckney Park that weaves together the history of Charleston with folklore and plant identification. • After we get to know one another, I’ll share about the rebellious history of tea in Charleston, and then pour tea to open our ritual tea ceremony. • Next, I’ll lead you through a short guided meditation, and we’ll discuss the tea experience. I'll share with you a plant monograph so you can understand how plants are • Then we will take a plant walk through Pinckney Park. As we walk the land, I’ll share 5-7 plants and their edible and medicinal qualities. I’ll answer any questions you may have about herbalism and native plants. In closing, I’ll send you a copy of my one-of-a-kind e-book. You’ll choose a plant to continue your connection with, and begin a new relationship with nature!

Guided tasting & shucking lesson with Barrier Island Oysters

This exclusive guided experience in South Carolina’s Lowcountry takes you through the delicate art and science of shellfish cultivation—from the aquatic farming sites of Hilton Head Island to the wild oyster beds of Bulls Bay. You’ll discover how South Carolina’s unique coastal environment shapes the flavor of its shellfish. • You’ll learn how local shellfish are cultivated and harvested, from the ecological role of oyster reefs to the sustainable farming practices shaping the industry today. • We’ll enjoy three tastings: Sea Clouds, a briny, sweet, and crisp oyster variety grown in floating farms; Capers Blades, oysters hand-harvested from the Lowcountry’s shorelines that deliver a deep, mineral-rich umami; and Clammer Dave’s Clams, a farmed variety of shellfish offering a high-salinity, grit-free bite with a buttery texture. • Choose your favorite from the tastings and put your skills to the test by shucking a half-dozen oysters or clams. In this gathering of tides and tradition, you’ll mingle with fellow guests and engage in conversations about shellfish farming, sustainability, and the culinary treasures of Charleston’s barrier islands.

Boo-Hag and Brews Ghost/Bar Tour

Is this a walking brew tour with a side of ghosts or a ghost tour with a side of brews? While guests will have to decide on that, we can tell you this is not an average "sit there and shut up " tour, but rather an opportunity to engage back and forth with a 7th gen. local. As a combined bar and ghost tour guests will start out at a local Irish pub where an appetizer will be provided complimentary and guests can order some delicious cocktails or beers (yes the Guinness is on tap ) while the guide goes over the basics of local history and the ghosts present in the City of Charleston. From there guests will walk by several historic graveyards and alleyways to hear in-depth stories of local ghosts and spirits such as the notorious BOO-HAG which is only known to Charleston. Guests will begin to understand why/how ghostly activity can take place after particular circumstances of love, tragedy, and horror. Eventually the group will make its way over to the relative safety of another bar. The tour will wind down at a hauntingly beautiful local park to hear about one of the first female serial killers. Don't stick around too long after... -Please bring valid photo identification (license or passport). -Experience is for guests 21+ only. -This experience is Not for guests with walking difficulties -One small snack provided at beginning of tour - Two bars are visited
