ROOTS - The REAL Time to Plant

ROOTS - The REAL Time to Plant

While Springtime may seem like the most exciting time to plant - planting in the fall allows us to work with the seasonal energetics of plants. It provides roots all of fall and winter for roots to expand, build allies with soil organisms and set the stage for strong top growth in spring.

Join us at the Clary Sage Herbarium with gradey proctor of The Medicine Garden for an exploration of roots, where we’ll dive into their botany, medicinal properties, root harvesting and propagation in your garden.

Cooler temperatures and increased soil moisture encourage stronger, more robust root systems, setting the stage for healthier, more resilient plants in the years to come. This workshop will focus on digging and dividing medicinal roots, land tending (harvesting) practices, and planting with the seasons to support deep-rooted growth. Whether you're a gardener, an herbalist, or just botanically curious, this workshop will root you in practical knowledge and a deeper connection to the life and cycles that surround us.

Registration is free, with recommended contributions of $20-$45 accepted at the door. Your support helps us continue offering these sessions. Thank you for your generosity and appreciation!
