Join us for a four-part herbalism series, once a month from March to June as we learn about the basics of herbalism and wake up our minds and bodies as the plants around us unfurl from a long winter! This beginner course is great for the herb-curious, someone who wants to get to know the plants in their backyard better, and for those looking to learn how to make simple herbal preparations. Each class will have a different thematic focus. Most classes will take place at our Fresh Roots Farm, but March’s class will be indoors.
