I rely on and appreciate all of my apprentices so much! Apprentices will have opportunities to further and deepen their apprenticeship by assisting with product making, helping with classes, running the farmers market booths and experiencing the "business" of herbs. Must be currently enrolled in the apprenticeship program or have formerly apprenticed with me to be included in these valuable opportunities.

When you go to the habitats where plants live, they teach you about their lives, where they grow, the other plants that grow nearby, who and what it attracts to spread its pollen. The plants are talking all the time. When you look at a plant's shape, color, markings, it's telling you about its medicinal properties. My apprenticeships are geared towards teaching you how to recognise the relationships plants have with each other and your role in beginning your own relationship with them.
My main purpose of my apprenticeships is to teach students to use herbs just as I was taught - by growing, harvesting, eating and healing with herbs as a part of their daily lives.
Apprentice with me. I will teach you what I know.
BOOKS:
You will be required to purchase Plants of the Pacific Northwest Coast and Medicinal Plants of the Pacific West for the course.
