Curious about what herbs are safe to share with children in your life?

Worried about the effects of synthetic chemicals in your foods, body care products, household cleaners, toys, and the environment?

Ready to hone your plant identification skills and build living soil with inspiration from the ancestors?

Together we’ll give our lives a green glow-up (and our wallets a break) as we learn how to build healthy soils, make friends with our plant neighbors, and grow, gather, and make our own eco-friendly and kid-safe products- safely, confidently, and joyfully!

Join us in-person or virtually for:

6 weeks of live demonstrations, discussions, and Q & A sessions, plus readings and recipes to download so you can make them at home on your own timeline. You will have access to the video recordings of class to download and rewatch again and again.

We’ll cover:

Soil & Soul: From Korea to Amazonia, Sierra Lione to Scotland, humans and microbes have been creating incredible soils for millennia… can we be inspired to do the same, before it’s too late?

Botany for Beginners: plant ID skills, strategies, and fun!

Herbs for Kids & Babies: safe, reliable, time-tested herbal allies preparations, and dosages

DIY Cleaners: homemade laundry and dishwasher detergent, counter cleaners, citrus enzymes, and even apple-scrap vinegar!
