michigan herb classes & workshops
(well, michigan and a few other states here & there...)

Highland State Recreation Area, Michigan... photo by Zeena Marouf   August 2019

This is a list of my scheduled IN PERSON walks & classes, into 2025... of course; more to come.  Please check back every now and again... I'm always working on my future schedule and more herb classes will undoubtedly pop up here and there, in different areas throughout Michigan or elsewhere around the country, continent or world...

Want to get emails about upcoming classes?
If you'd like to be added to an email list that gives information on my workshops, click here.  This email list is mostly focused on classes in michigan and the nearby great lakes bioregion.  If you don't live in the area and are only interested in live streamed and online classes, you can sign up for an email list focused on these offerings here.

I live too far away; do you offer online/distance learning?  
Yes!  Please check out my online walk and class portal (who hasn't always wanted a portal?) at herbcraft.podia.com.

Have questions about classes? 
I've got answers to frequently asked questions (like times, weather exceptions, missed classes and such) here. 

Also, if you'd like a "preview" of sorts on how I teach, there's a slew of youtube videos you can check out here.

Interested in hosting a class, walk or workshop?
I'm always happy to travel and spend time talking plants, and can speak on a wide array of herbal topics, from a couple hours to a day to a weekend.  If you're interested in having me offer herb classes in your neck of the woods (or tropical beaches), just send an email or call me at (248) 238-8733.
