Best hands on class
Posted by Selena Acosta on 15th Mar 2025
This herbal studies program with Bridget was amazing. Just like many of her other courses offered! The amount of time spent learning in class with hands on creations was something I always looked forward to. The field trips were definitely a treat.
Learning the many ways in which plants all around us, even in our own kitchens can be incredibly beneficial to our lives.
Bridget is an amazing teacher of the plants. And just an incredible person all around!
I am incredibly grateful to have been apart of this program and highly recommend those seeking to learn more in herbalism to connect with Bridget and join her classes.

I loved this program
Posted by Louise on 7th Nov 2024
I was taking an herbal program online and I couldn’t seem to get myself to commit to it every day or find time and also wasn’t confident that I was doing anything correct. This program was perfect for me because I had an awesome guide and I was confident in what I was doing because I had someone right there who has the knowledge and experience with herbs. Bridget is a great teacher who is open and patient with her students. She is not only a teacher but a friend. The atmosphere is relaxed and calming. Bridget’s love for herbs shows in her teaching. The trips were amazing and I learned how to look around me and recognize the herbs growing right in my yard and as I walked around town. I would recommend this program to anyone who has an interest in how herbs can help in your everyday life. And she is an amazing cook.

An amazing hands on course for the curious herbalists
Posted by Unknown on 22nd Oct 2024
Being apart of the first year herbal studies was amazing. It was fun, informational and the hands on work we did really brought this class to life. Learning while creating with Bridget was the best. I enjoyed the flow of the classroom and energy of the space in which classes are held. The field trips were always a great time as well. I would definitely recommend others to sign up if becoming familiar with herbs is on your radar and you’re looking for a hands on course.
