Mother Earth truly has given us an abundance of herbs, we shall explore plants such as the lemon balm, spearmint, peppermint, pipsissewa, arnica, native wild ginger, strawberries, raspberries, stinging nettles, catnip, comfrey, plantain, oregon grape, and more. We shall discuss their lore and uses and seasonally harvest, or forage, for our light lunch. In this program we shall use these and various herbs in the making of various herbal concoctions.

We welcome you to participate, without expectations of taking a trunk full of herbs home, just your notebooks and brains. There will be samples to try of everything we make and harvest (you can make new products to share with family and friends when you get home). These homemade items can be great gifts.

It is a pleasure to be able to share some of the treasures of the knowledge that my teachers and ancestors have passed on through the generations. With mutual respect we welcome you to our 'Herbal Cradle House' a place where one can find serenity in the tall wooded forests, laughter in the streams, and healing in one's heart, all in the process of learning the art and lore of Herbalism, and Permaculture.
