Hello everyone! Alex here, as many of you may know we are expecting a little girl in the next few weeks. I’ll be taking a little break from the shop while we nurture our little family for May and June. We will remain open Saturday and Sunday from 12-5pm.

We have a few classes coming up which I’ll post soon and just detail here. And you’ll be seeing some familiar faces at the shop while I’m out. ☺️

On May 22nd will be here teaching about Herbal Support for Stress and Anxiety.

Ali will be back on June 12th for Crafting Herbal Oils and Salves.

The lovely Hilary from will also offer a workshop and will be at the shop on most days, along with Alana and Mel . So so thankful for these amazing women holding it down while I’m away. ❤️❤️❤️

Last but not least come see for the Spring Festival happening May 23 and 24th. So sad I’ll be missing it but so excited that you don’t have to! ☺️

As always feel free to DM or email us with any questions, and sign up for our monthly newsletter (link in bio) for recipes, latest updates, plant stories and more! ❤️

Coming up in two weeks, plus a quick look at April!

Named after one of our favorite teas from Happy Belly, this class is not just about “herbs for ...” but about giving attention to your gut.

The digestive system is complex, highly intelligent and self correcting. When we experience digestive distress it permeates every aspect of our lives, from sleepless nights, to anxiety, to daily discomforts. Our microbiome can influence not just digestion but also our immune function and emotional stability.

Our gut has evolved with our herbal allies for thousands of years. Plants have enabled us to adapt to our food sources and the diverse microcosm of bacteria and viruses that surrounds us. This relationship runs deep and wide!

In this class we will:

🌱Understand the functions of the digestive system and its relationship with the nervous and immune systems
🌱Explore the histortical allyship between our gut/microbiome and our greens
🌱Share herbal protocols and remedies to soothe common digestive ailments
🌱Develop our sense of taste and knowledge of herbal actions

See you there!

Well, it’s still February but spring is right around the corner here somewhere (right?), which means we’re back out there with our green allies.

Spring is all about waking up and re-invigorating our skills, and our rhythm. Each spring we offer classes that focus on digestion, liver function and the essential ecosystem that keeps us strong throughout the year. It’s not so much a spring cleanse as a spring reset into connection.

We’re starting off gently with some medicine making basics: teas and infusions. These are simple preparations with rich and complex benefits. Water based preparations can be simple pleasures, intentional acts of meditation and attention, they can be potent remedies and tasty delights. It all depends on our intention, and having fun with connection, and chemistry.

Come join us and check out the website for our spring classes ❤️.

We’re back this weekend! Come say hello!

Next Saturday Sept 20 Ali from is back!

We get questions about alcohol free alternatives to tinctures all the time at the shop. So here we go! Alchohol free herbalism is here. Thank you Ali!

Glycerites are herbal extracts made with vegetable glycerin. Glycerites are tasty, effective, and offer a wonderful alternative for folks who would like to make or take herbal tinctures but want to avoid alcohol.

In this hands-on workshop, we’ll dive into how and why glycerites work, exactly how to make them, and which herbs will work best for this preparation. Everyone will go home with a small bottle of herbal glycerite made during class!

August workshops are here! We’ve got lots to share as usual.

🌱 Saturday August 2nd Ali from will be teaching Handcrafting Herbal Oils and Salves. This is one you don’t want to miss, Ali is not only super knowledgeable and a great teacher, but she has been making her own products for years. You might have noticed her Violet oil and Evergreen oil in the shop…or not since they alway sell out. ☺️

💅 On Saturday August 16 you’ll find me talking Bones, Hair, Skin health and how to navigate hormones, stress, life and build long term strength, resilience and flexibility. I’ve been working on this class since last fall, and I am so excited to share what I have learned (and practiced!).

🌺 On Sunday August 17 we will be joined by the incredible for Flower Essences:Tools for Clarity and Care. We have been waiting for so long to offer classes on flower essences and their benefits, and we couldn’t be more excited.

🌳 Finally I’m back for Hedge Herbalism on August 23rd. We are continuing our spontaneous journey working with what the land has to offer. Every time we meet I am in awe of what we find…ancient plants, new friends, stories, makings. And just so I don’t leave you handing..I am pretty sure we’ll have an abundance of fresh elderberries to work with for this one, yum!
