10 plants

building intimacy with plants over time

This 5 month long, hands-on herbalism immersion is a slow burn. We’ll take our time getting to know 10 medicinal herbs from June to October. We’ll meet them on the farm, nerd out about who they are, and make medicine from their bounty. You will then be invited to continue building your relationship to them through journaling and meditation practices until the next time we meet.
