Do you want to learn how to create a medicinal landscape in your backyard? Studying herbalism, basic gardening techniques, and medicine making on an established two-acre farm? Do you want to leave a program with over 25 herbs stocked up in your apothecary? Plus you’ll get tons of starts and seeds to move into your space! And do all of this in a tight knit community of just 8 other students!
The Gardening for Medicine series will have a cohort meeting Wednesdays and another gathering on Saturdays, both options are held from 10am to 4:30pm for a total of 40 hours.
Wednesday Series will meet on the following days in 2026:
May 20th, June 17th, July 15th, August 19th, September 16th and October 21st
Saturday Series will meet on the following days in 2026:
May 23rd, June 20th, July 18th, August 15th, September 12th and October 17th
The total cost, including monthly herbal harvest of four plants, handouts, seeds and starts galore is $750. Click below, email [email protected] or call (503) 489 3483 to schedule a time to make sure this is a good fit for you!
In this series, we’ll spend our days learning in an established herb garden throughout the cultivating season. Each class, we will tend to an array of medicinal plants and explore when and how to gather them for the best medicine, and the health of our plants. We will also learn how to make a variety of herbal preparations with our bounty, discussing each plant’s healing properties and usage. We will cover key gardening techniques, such as root dividing, pruning techniques, seed saving and give practical advice on how to create a living backyard apothecary. Our approach will follow a permaculture or ecological lens, where we will study where these plants evolved and learn to create microclimates to foster their best growth. Participants will take home a plethora of plant starts and seeds as well as information to help them maintain their own medicinal landscape. Each month, students will harvest 4 separate seasonal herbs to take home, CSA-style. With one of these plants gathered each month, we will make a different medicine together, from tinctures to salves! My vision is for you to come away with a well-stocked medicine cabinet for today, and the tools and plants for a garden full of medicine in the years ahead!
