Introductory & Beginner Courses
Herb Crafting Guide for Beginners Course
If you bought a beautiful packet of dried herbs and have no idea what to actually do with it, you are extremely not alone — this is one of the most common things we hear. Here’s the complete beginner’s guide: three simple ways to use your herbs, explained step-by-step with zero assumed knowledge, plus the small details that make each one turn out well the first time.
Botanical Mist & Hydrosol Skin Routine for Beginners Course
If you’ve never used a hydrosol before, here’s the one-sentence version: it’s the fragrant water left over from steam-distilling real flowers and herbs, and it’s one of the gentlest, most effective ways to give your skin real hydration — but only if you use it the right way. Most people mist and stop there, which wastes most of the benefit. Here’s the full method, explained for someone who’s never touched a hydrosol before.
Tinctures & Glycerites for Total Beginners Course
If you’ve never used a tincture before, the vocabulary alone can be intimidating — droppers, dosages, “sublingual,” alcohol content. Let’s clear all of that up from zero, so by the end of this you’ll know exactly what to reach for, how much to use, and why we carry both a tincture and a glycerite of Holy Basil (they’re not the same thing, and the difference matters).
Intermediate Courses
Beyond the Teabag: Intermediate Course in Tea & Glycerites
If you’ve already made a facial steam or a bath tea with our loose herbs, you know the basics of infusion. This is the next level: steeping herbs properly as tea — the ratios, the timing, the water temperature that actually matters — and then learning the one trick most home tea drinkers never try: finishing a cup with a glycerite instead of honey or sugar.
Advanced Courses
California Native Plants: Advanced Gardening Course
A structured, module-based course for gardeners ready to move beyond “buy plant, water plant” into real ecological gardening practice
A six-module deep dive into ecological native gardening for California, moving past basic plant selection into real practice: identifying your specific plant community and microclimate (not just “California native” broadly), reading soil drainage without over-amending, building a plant palette organized by function and repeated in drifts, hydrozoning to prevent root rot from mismatched watering, correct planting depth and seed stratification technique, and low-intervention maintenance that supports pollinators and fire safety. Ends with 15 study questions (answer key included) and a final deliverable: a one-page garden plan combining ecoregion, drainage results, a hydrozone map, and a functional plant palette.
California Native Medicinal Plants: Advanced Course
The plants in this course were, and continue to be, medicine to the Indigenous peoples of the Los Angeles and Southern California region — most notably the Chumash and Tongva (Gabrielino), along with neighboring nations like the Cahuilla, Luiseño, and Kumeyaay. This knowledge comes from documented ethnobotanical records, and we’re sharing it here with respect for where it comes from, not as a substitute for it.
This is educational content, not medical advice. Several plants in this course are genuinely dangerous if misidentified or misused — pay close attention to the toxicity notes on each one.
