Amazing weekend
Posted by Dawn Townsend on 14th Mar 2025
I attended Bridgets weekend class in March, and so glad I did! I have a passion for natural health, and this was just right up my alley! The small class size was intimate, comfortable and very informative. We were able to touch, feel, smell the herbs we were learning about, not just reading. We made several tinctures, salves, and a fabulous tea that I enjoy every evening. I look forward to furthering my education with Bridget.

Great introductory class
Posted by Sadhana on 13th Mar 2025
Had such a wonderful weekend attending Bridget's Beginning with Herbs class. She is a gifted herbalist and skilled at teaching her craft. The weekend was jam packed and included some lecture, some discussion, and lots of hands-on experience with essential local herbs, and using them to make teas, salves, oils, syrups, and more. This class offers basic proficiency and skills, and I went home feeling more connected to plants and how to easily integrate them into every day life.

Impressive Weekend Learning Skills to Apply to Everyday Life
Posted by Mary Lou DeFalco on 13th Mar 2025
I attended Bridget Guiffrida’s herbal classes because I have a great interest in natural health. I’m so glad I did. Bridget teaches from her home. Her entire home is her “workshop”, which in itself is impressive. She has vast knowledge and experience that she shares readily with students. The classes are hands-on and interactive, more like a fun activity then a “class”. She makes a connection with each participant and has much to offer. I’m looking forward to applying the principles she teaches to our everyday life.

Learning & Making all weekend!
Posted by Gilda H on 9th Mar 2025
I wasn't sure what to really expect but I loved how Bridget was able to teach us in so many different ways through the whole weekend! I was never bored. We learned to identify a few herbs, did some textual learning, then did hands-on learning. Not to mention the many yummy teas we had throughout class and all the goodies we got to bring home with us! It's an extensive but fun weekend class and I highly recommend it!
