What makes this program different
There are so many herbal programs — why choose this one?
I’ve been teaching herbalism to adults for about 8 years now. In that time, I’ve come to understand that adults arrive at herbal education from many backgrounds & contexts. Delving into herbalism as an adult isn’t the same studying back when you were a full-time student.
This program is designed not just to give you a lot of herbal facts, but to engage you in learning so that you actually absorb & retain the information.
We will use games, silliness, flavors, and hands-on activities to explore these herbs. Herbs are luscious and sensory — herbal learning should be luscious and sensory, too.

Class will meet on Saturdays, from 10am-5:00pm.
