Monthly Herbalism Program
(The Puddingstone School will not run in 2026 as I get to know my new surroundings in Western MA. Check back in for the next version in 2027!)
One weekend per month, April through November
This course is for beginning-intermediate plant people looking for a tangible and meaningful connection to plants and our local ecosystems. The framework for our study of plants will be through herbal medicine, though this program is not necessarily geared solely to people looking to become a capital ‘H’ Herbalist.
Class time will be divided between indoor lecture/discussion class, outdoor plant walks at various locales, and hands on medicine making workshops.
The program will meet one weekend a month (sometimes just Sunday, sometimes both Sat+Sun), including two weekend long trips to New Hampshire (see below for full schedule).
Cost for the program is $1000, including a $400 non-refundable deposit to secure a spot in the program. First come, first served.
If interested, please reach out via the contact page to set up a time for us to talk and see if the program will be a good fit for you and you for it!
