Full Program Overview (Winter → Spring)

In this immersive seasonal series, we explore herbalism as a hands-on, living practice where plants become allies for wellness, creativity, and discovery.

Designed for young learners, this course focuses on gentle herbal remedies, seasonal crafting, and earth-based learning. Children will harvest, prepare, and create projects that connect them directly to the natural world.

Students gain practical skills in gardening, plant care, and medicine-making while developing a deeper respect for nature and sustainable living practices passed down through generations.

Whether a child is drawn to nature, crafting, or learning how plants support well-being, this series offers a meaningful and engaging experience that fosters curiosity, confidence, and connection.

Additional Details

This class is designed for boys and girls ages 5–11.
