Join Betzy for an exploration of the microbiome and the important role our gut flora plays in our health–digestion, immunity and mental health all depend on healthy gut flora! Make some delicious fermented veggies together and take home a jar to start feeding your microbial friends right away! More info and registration here.

The final schedule of mini-classes is up! The Summer Herbal Fair is tomorrow! We’ve got lovely musical guests, demos, herbal maker’s market, yummy food, herb walks and mini-classes lined up. We hope you’ll join us!

We are seeking one or more experienced herbal educators and clinicians to join our team as our school continues to grow. We are particularly in need of educators with advanced knowledge who are equally comfortable speaking the languages of science and energetics. The ideal candidates would also be equally comfortable in the classroom, clinic and gardens. 

Check out our VCIH t-shirts! A great way to show your herbalist ways, celebrate the diversity of the art, and also support the efforts of our nonprofit. Multiple colors and sizes are available, along with styles for both men and women. Visit our support page!
