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.

New place to stay

Drink pairings are available for purchase. • As each course arrives at your table, I’ll walk you through how the dish came together and the farmers and producers who supply Grace & Grit with sustainable, top-notch ingredients.

Coffee Hike to Three Waterfalls

Love hiking and coffee? You've found the right place. We have over 300 waterfalls around Brevard and searching different trail websites gets confusing to try and pick which one to visit, so I will make it easy, we’ll visit three of my personal favorites along a 3.5 mile loop. The terrain is mostly even, gravel trail with two steep sections that will get your heart pumping, but the views are worth the climbs - perfect for beginner hikers. To me there's nothing better than slowing down to appreciate the moment in nature with a great cup of coffee (and new friends!). On this hike you will try our medium roast "Trail Magic" or enjoy hot cocoa or tea and light snacks. Here's our plan. 1. We will meet at The Hooker Falls parking area in DuPont State Forest, and hike to Hooker Falls. Here we'll break to brew and share coffee together. You'll learn how to make coffee in the woods including how to filter water from the waterfall. 2. Currently triple falls trail is closed due to damages from Helene, but we can still hike to triple falls itself (many people think triple falls is closed but it's not - you just have to know the way there :) ) And then we'll hike to my faborite, high falls, before we head back to the parking lot. Need a different date or time from what's listed? We guide hikes for private groups on other dates as available. Dogs are allowed on leash
