A workspace for Winter
Storage and work surfaces organized around her supplies, herbs, and preparation—close to home, with less repeated setup and packing.
Tea & Recovery is already happening. The herbs, blends, teaching, and community are already here. Now help give that work a dedicated space to grow.
A planned patio transformation. The first milestone is a safe, usable workspace; the full garden experience follows in phases.
We share Tea & Recovery every month at HEAT and have brought it to events across the country. Winter prepares blends, pours tea, and teaches hands-on skills. This campaign is about a new setting for established work.
Imagine a dedicated place for Winter’s herbs and stock, with practical room to prepare her work and a beautiful setting for tea and small gatherings. Shelves of botanicals. A table for learning and making. A garden view that is part of the experience.
Storage and work surfaces organized around her supplies, herbs, and preparation—close to home, with less repeated setup and packing.
Future tea tastings, botanical learning, aromatic workshops, and private lessons in a garden-apothecary setting. These are the vision, not currently bookable home experiences.
An unexpected roof leak has put repairs ahead of the patio transformation. Upfront support helps us move through the essential work sooner. We’ll publish costs and estimated dates when quotes and scheduling are confirmed.
Assess and repair the leaking roof, then check and address water damage.
Unlocks: A dry, protected place to build.
Roof assessment and a confirmed repair scope come first. Costs and scheduling are being confirmed.
Complete the essential interior repairs, windows, cooling, and other safety work identified in the final scope.
Unlocks: Room Winter can safely begin using.
Depends on the roof and water-damage work. Essential repairs come before decorative finishing.
Arrange herb storage, supplies, work surfaces, and preparation areas around Winter’s actual practice.
Unlocks: Winter begins using her dedicated workspace—not begins working.
Depends on usable-space readiness. Winter’s current offerings continue during the build.
Prepare seating, guest access, and small-group workshop arrangements once the space is suitable.
Unlocks: A future setting for tea, learning, and making together.
Guest access, safe capacity, permissions, and suitability must be confirmed before booking home visits.
Add botanical displays, garden details, atmosphere, and finishing touches.
Unlocks: The beautiful herb-and-garden experience we’re working toward.
Finishing follows essential readiness. The scope can grow in stages as resources allow.
Choose the kind of support that fits you. A contribution, a current experience, and a personal tip are different things—we keep them clear.
Give any amount within the existing donation limits. Select “Garden Apothecary build” on the support page so your contribution is identified for this project.
No product, workshop seat, ownership interest, or financial return is included. Gifts are not tax-deductible.
Attend Tea & Recovery or November’s make-and-take workshop. Experience the work firsthand, without waiting for the new space.
Have relevant building skills, useful materials, or a local connection? Contact us first so help matches the actual scope. Please don’t send unrequested materials or visit the home without an arrangement.
Let Winter know you’d like to hear about a future monthly sponsor option. No recurring charge, benefits, or opening promise is being offered yet.
Our first update is the plan itself: essential repairs first, a dedicated workspace next, and the garden-apothecary experience as the fuller vision. There are no completed construction milestones claimed here.
We’ll confirm how you’d like to hear from us. Sending this request does not automatically enroll you in a mailing list.
Yes. Her products, consultations, monthly Tea & Recovery, and announced workshops exist now. The build creates a dedicated setting for that work.
There is no opening date or home-visit booking yet. Guest access, safety, and capacity must be confirmed first. You can attend the current events at their listed venues.
Roof work must be paid upfront; reimbursement comes later through rent credits. Extra improvements may receive partial reimbursement, but that is not guaranteed. This campaign supports the upfront work needed to make the dedicated space usable sooner.
The build is phased; a contribution does not guarantee the whole vision or a completion date. Contributions support this space’s repairs and improvements. Contact Winter with questions about your gift or a change in plans. Updated estimates and scope will be shared as they are confirmed.
No. One-time gifts are separate from shop purchases, tickets, and personal tips. They are not tax-deductible and do not buy a reward, ownership interest, or financial return.
