More Herbal Classes
In 2010 we will be offering additional herbal classes for those who want to continue to explore the world of plant medicine.
An Alphabet of Herbs!
Four Thursdays, October 7th-28th, 6:45pm-9pm
- with Missy Rohs
In this four-class program, each evening will be devoted to six different herbs, botanically working our way from A through Z. Detailed
Materia Medica sheets on each plant will be provided, describing the
medicinal uses as well as the
magical aspects of plants. We'll explore each herb through taste, touch, and smell. Both
old local faves and
obscure medicinals from outside of our ecosystem will be featured, making this class fun for intermediate herbalists and new herb enthusiasts alike. A wonderful way to get to know our green friends better!
Class will be held in SE Portland.
Cost: $105 for the series; $90 if paid by Sept. 23rd.

- with Gradey Proctor
In this series, we'll spend our days learning in an
established herb garden throughout the season. Mornings, we'll be outdoors, tending the plants and learning when and how to harvest them for medicine. Afternoons will be devoted to in-depth discussion of medicinal uses, tastings of plants, and basic herbal preparations. Students will
harvest an abundance of sustainably-grown herbs to take home for personal use, CSA-style.
