So you want to be an herbalist...... 

Come join us as we learn to live with the seasons, getting to know our local plant allies, making lots of fun herbal preparations, and becoming more present in our own bodies as well as with others. The Wildflower School focuses on all things herbal and green, and generally not found in books. We honor and and rely heavily on oral traditions. We are firm believers in experiential learning.

In classes, the science of herbalism is carefully balanced with the art and energetic realms to offer the student a well-rounded herbal perspective. Much of what we do is hands-on and interactive. We are excited to introduce the concept of herbal paths to our curriculum, adding more hours and advanced study for our future students.
