Join herbalist and medicinal herb farmer Marae in a hands on workshop learning herb propagation and growing methods! We will be covering material for at-home gardeners and those wishing to gain fundamental skills in establishing regenerative medicinal herb farms.
Participants will learn:
- Seeding, divisions, cutting and layering methods.
- Soil health, interplanting and medicinal cover cropping.
- Biodynamic planting, planetary harvesting and their impact on production and potency of medicinal preparations.
- Accessible organic at-home fertilizers, natural disease and pest resistance.
- Drying and processing methods.
- Revenue streams within medicinal herb growing.
We will be working with our hands and the plants, and each participant will receive seedlings to take home!
Viriditas Apothecary is a small scale medicinal, flower and vegetable farm located on the traditional and unceded territory of the lək̓ʷəŋən (Lekwungen) peoples.
Born of a desire to make medicinal plants and food more accessible, I farm using organic regenerative practices to promote resiliency and health of the soil, water and local flora and fauna. As an uninvited settler on these lands, I acknowledge the impact of historical and ongoing colonial violence and am committed to deepening my understanding of allyship and supporting indigenous self-determination.
My approach to clinical herbalism is rooted in a biomedical understanding of health that is also informed and woven with folk animist practice. I work with patients to discover the underlying causes of imbalance and to support physiological, emotional, mental and spiritual healing.
