The what and the how:
During this nine month program you will be learning how to garden and creating a home apothecary and remedies to support you and yours. We'll gather one day per month in person and work through one to two online modules per month. We will come together to taste, touch and experience herbs and plants from our best growing and propagating methods, as we're tending the community garden, harvesting herbs, making medicinal remedies and finding ways to effectively use the plants and their medicines. The nature of this course is working hands on together on our team project - in other words you will be getting dirty! Each time we are together we will make a meal and experience herbal remedies that inspire and create herbal goodness for you and yours.
