Classes & Workshops
Learn, play, create and make connections with people and plants.
My classes and workshops are a fun way to get closer to plants. Whether we’re creating festive holiday gifts, striding out on a herb hike or delving more deeply into growing, making and using your own plant medicines, you’ll take home a full set of printed recipes and instructions as well as a goodie bag stuffed with gorgeous products we have made or collected.
“I LOVE my beauty products! When I was younger, I used to love putting lotion all over my skin, but then I stopped because the lotions available to me were full of strange ingredients. I’ve been using the lotion we made in class very generously on my skin, and my skin is hydrated! The lotion absorbs quickly into my body, and my conscience is happy knowing that this lotion is practically food! Thank you!”
