Local Events + Herb Classes
Join East Bay Herbals at one of my upcoming educational workshops, long-term training programs, or free community classes. I strive to offer classes that make the art and science of herbalism accessible, relatable, and applicable to the modern herbal home, with a special emphasis on using herbs in the kitchen, and garden. Long-term trainings and a monthly educational online community are part of what make the EBH educational offerings so unique and robust. Class listings are updated each season, with the exception of the long-term training (updated annually) and the Herb of the Month Club which is ongoing.
