About this Event
Discover the joy of growing and using native California medicinal plants in your herbal garden. This seasonal workshop focuses on fall and early winter planting, with a special spotlight on California Poppy, Black Sage, and California Mugwort. Learn practical techniques for planting, caring for, harvesting, and making medicine from these plants—and how to seamlessly integrate them into your existing garden.
Lauren (they/she) is a queer herbalist and botanical artisan who is passionate about bringing people and plants together through cultivation and creativity. The third generation of their family to live in the Ojai Valley, Lauren grew up with a deep connection to the land, plants, and ecosystems there. Throughout life, Lauren discovered that no matter what she did, all roads lead back to the plants. Whether it was in the garden, piled amongst a binder full of herbalism notes, woven into the threads of floral embroidery, or captured in the words of poetry; the plants were always there as guides, teachers, and healers. Lauren is the owner and founder of Thimble and Seed; a botanical boutique with an array of herbal creations that inspires others to find their own ways to explore the wisdom and whimsy of the plant world.
