Thanks for visiting our website. We regret that we will not be offering any in-person herb classes or plant walks this summer.

We do have webinars available for beginners and experienced herbalists alike that you can access right now, scroll down for details.

Due to the fact that Georgia government officials have not put any mandates in place requiring masks or enforced social distancing, along with fact that COVID19 infection rates in Rabun County  (and everywhere else) are rising at an alarming rate, we feel this is best for everyone’s safety.

We hope you will stay home, practice social distancing, limit your contact with others, and, of course, rely on your herbal allies to support your immune system and reduce the negative effects of stress. For tips about how to use herbs to support your health and well being, check out these COVID19 resources for herbalists.

Stay safe!
