Alaskana Botannicals at Public Market

Juneauites cheer the sampling of Devil's Club Chai tea created by Ryder Radcliffe, son of Jan Parrish, accupuncturist and owner of Alaskana Botannicals

Handmade wreaths, healing salves, Devil’s Club Chai and walking sticks, applie and rhubarb/strawberry pie, and essential oil spray mists are (all hand-crafted) items you will discover at Alaskana Botannical’s booth C-3 at the Alaska-Juneau Public Market held this weekend at the Centennial Hall in Juneau. Visiting with Jan Parrish and her son, Ryder Radcliffe is an educational experience. I’ve learned many healthier ways of living as I’ve heard them speak with customers because my booth is right next door to theirs. We did not put up a dividing wall between us, and I’m glad we didn’t; it’s great to have “real neighbors!” Visit Alaskan Botannical’s website at: www.alaskanabotannicals.com

We’ve got one more day of the Public Market – tomorrow from 10am until 5pm – musician friend Lis Saya is talking about bringing her fiddle to accompany the possibility of a Native drummer at Jack Tripp, Jr.’s Mt. Juneau Trading Post featuring traditional Native arts which is “across the street” from Clarissa Rizal’s contemporary Native paintings and Alaskana Botannicals…maybe there will even be a “street” dance! – Come join us for our last day at the Market!
