CLASS DESCRIPTION
In this hands-on intensive we will be exploring the magic, wholeness, and connection that growing your own herb garden can impart, and the useful techniques that will help your garden to flourish.
We will look at not only the ‘hows’, but also the ‘whys’ and ‘whats’, as we discuss the richness that growing our own herbs can bring to our lives and to our practice of herbalism. During the intensive we will be spending time in the beautiful herb garden at Fireweed practicing hands-on techniques in herb growing including propagation, transplanting, observing soil & exposure, and seed-saving.
Areas of exploration:
~Why grow your own herbs?
~Producing potent medicinal plants
~The garden as a healer
