The garden and the produce section are sources of wonderful healing plants that we consider foods. This class will help you learn new uses of familiar plants for home-based health and healing. Parsley, potatoes, carrots, bananas, avocados, thyme, sage, celery, onions, garlic, and every other kind of whole food, have inherent healing properties. Let this class open the garden gate to a new way of using foods you can easily grow or buy.

trip to Gaia

We had 17 potential herb growers get on the bus with us and head to Gaia Herbs to take a tour of the farm and facilities. It was an amazing trip and everyone learned so much about the medicine making process. Our gracious host, CEO Ric Skalzo showed us the process from seed to capsule. It was just fascinating! The quality, integrity and strength of Gaia's products reflect exacting standards and attention to details we witnessed during the trip. Jackie Greenfield, who is the buyer of raw materials for the company was on hand to answer questions and help with details of farming operations, post harvest processing and contract farming.
Thanks to everyone involved with the tour.
