Be sure to sign up early to ensure you get a spot. Seats are limited, and we ask that you preregister to help us prepare for class. If you see a class you want, but it's already full, you can give us a call and see if we're taking names for a wait list in case of a cancellation.
Classes are 1.5-2 hours long, unless otherwise noted.
Classes are held in a room at the back of the shop.

Cancellation Policy: If you find that you can't make a class you've signed up for after all, give us at least 48 hours notice, and we can forward your class credit to a future class upon request. Our classes often fill up, and if there's not enough notice, its hard to fill your spot from the waitlist we almost always have!
Thank you for your understanding.
Upcoming Classes
May 20th (Tuesday, 6:00 pm) Herb Walk at Dauner Martin $25
One of the best parts of learning about herbalism is finding all the wonderful herbal allies that grow in our region. Michigan is rich in herbs that are potential allies if you know how to identify and use them!
For this class, we will meet at the southern entrance of Dauner-Martin Nature Preserve on Dauner Road. **Parking can be somewhat limited. For those of you who would like to carpool, meet at the Hawthorn & Violet parking lot by 5:45 and we'll go as a group or two and make parking easier!
We will go on a one mile hike through wooded trails and meadow. Along the way, we will stop many times to point out and discuss medicinal plants growing in Michigan. I plan to do three herbs walks over the course of the warm weather on this same trail so that we can see how the plants look in later summer. (May, July & September)
It's always a good idea to wear good close toed walking shoes, and maybe even long pants, and to apply bug deterrent spray. We will still plan on going if it’s raining. Cancellation will only happen if weather is dangerous such as a thunderstorm with lightening is imminent. So if it looks like rain and you’d like to bring an umbrella, take that into account.
A notebook and camera may also be useful, but there are some great notetaking apps for smartphones that are great for just this kind of thing if you're a quick typer.
May 30th Herbs for Brain Health (Friday, 6 pm) $25
We will talk about different herbs that can help improve memory and support that very important organ, the brain. We'll also talk about how they work!
June 6th Michigan Wild Plants & How to Use Them (Friday 6 pm) $25
Come learn about the medicinal properties of plants that grow around us in Michigan, as well as their preferred growing habitats. So many of the things we pull out when we are weeding are actually plants our ancestors were very familiar with and used as food and medicine. You may find yourself looking at your own backyard with new eyes! This class will be an indoor class, with plant samples to be passed around if available, in addition to pictures.
June 13th Herbalism for Beginners (Friday 6 pm) $25
This is a class about laying the foundation for understanding western herbalism and how to categorize herbs. In this class we will talk about how to choose herbs based on their energetics- cooling, warming, moistening, drying. We'll learn about many of the categories of herbs based on their properties and get a feel for some of the vocabulary you might come across in books. We will meet a few of our best allies and learn the basics of how to use them.
June 17th Herb Walk in Fenton Backyard (Tuesday)
I'm offering an herb walk class in our back garden, adjacent to the Shiawasee River. I have a dedicated medicinal herb bed that includes some things you may not see as frequently in the wild around here like rue, feverfew, valerian, angelica, mugwort, marshmallow, chamomile, comfrey, lemon balm, as well as plants you may come across in the wild like catnip, Saint John's wort, New England aster, boneset, yarrow, Monarda fistulosa, motherwort, California poppy, calendula, Solomon's seal, black cohosh, wood betony, pleurisy root, blue vervain, and several more I'm probably not thinking of. Location is 602 Mary Ct, Fenton.
We'll talk about these plants, their properties, identifying them and how to use them medicinally, as well as their preferred growing habitat. It's a small backyard, but with a little forethought and determination, a medicinal garden can fit just about anywhere.
June 20th Supporting Gut Health & How it Impacts Allergies, Autoimmune and Inflammation
This class, like most of our classes takes place in person at our shop in Fenton, MI.
The root of all disease begins in the gut. We'll talk about why gut health is so important for reducing your hay fever symptoms, you aches and pains, your mental health outlook, as well as the impact on autoimmune conditions.
We'll focus on the importance of gut integrity, what weakens it, and how to strengthen it. We'll look at the ways modern life is so disruptive to gut health and talk about strategies for countering this. Gut health goes way beyond just taking probiotics and we'll talk about what else can be done.
June 27th Herbal Mocktail Making ($35)
I'll show you how to make some fun new drinks for your next summer get together, or just to enjoy on your back porch. There are lots of great options to make these non-alcoholic, but you can certainly make them with your favorite liquor instead. We'll talk about how.
Its wonderful to know how to make a really great drink for everyone in your life, including those who don't consume alcohol. We had a recent family party and it was great to be able to make fun drinks for the kids and non-drinking adults too that were healthy, delicious and gorgeous.
We'll talk about how to make your own herbal infused ingredients to make them truly unique and to bring them up to the next level.
We'll sample some lovely treats (all non-alcoholic for class) and you'll leave with an understanding of how to mix up what you have growing in your backyard into something truly delicious!
Cost is $35 and space is limited so call today to reserve your spot! You'll be so glad you did at the next summer BBQ you head out to! This one is perfectly timed for the 4th of July, and you can pick up an extra herbal infused simple syrup while you're here!
July 12th Herbal Medicine Making ($35)
This class will be a demonstration of how to make your herbs into medicine, with many opportunities to get up and help with the medicine making if you like to be a little more hands on!. We will learn about how to make infusions, decoctions, tinctures, poultices, steams, salves, syrups and more. This class tends to run about 2.5 hours- and may run slightly over that.
