    Hello and welcome !

    My name is Hélène and I am traditional herbalist near Quebec. I cultivate myself healing plants that I transform into products for the health. (Herb teas, balms etc.). Planting, growing, harvesting, drying and selling healing plants under various forms is a big work and I'm looking for help for this year and the years to come. It is a good opportunity to learn more about herbs and plants. I participate in producers' market of the area every Saturday morning between the end of June and the end of September.

    I live in the city of Pont-Rouge, in the area of Portneuf in 40 km of Quebec with a dog and a cat.

    See you soon

    Hélène

    Bonjour et bienvenue !
    Je m'appelle Hélène et je suis herboriste traditionnelle près de Quebec. Je cultive moi-même des plantes médicinales que je transforme en produits pour la santé. (tisanes, baumes etc). Planter, s'occuper du jardin, récolter, faire sécher et vendre les plantes médicinales sous différentes formes est un gros travail et je recherche de l'aide pour cette année et les années qui suivent. C'est une bonne opportunité pour en apprendre plus sur les plantes médicinales. Je participe au marché de producteurs de la région les samedis matin entre fin juin et fin septembre.

    Je suis située dans la ville de Pont-Rouge, dans la région de Portneuf à 40 km de Québec avec un chien et un chat. Je propose aussi des visites touristiques pendant l’été.

    Au plaisir

    Hélène
