The subject

In Herbal Journey, we dive into nature’s own pharmacy and explore how plants can be used.

We work both indoors and in the folk high school’s herb garden.
You will learn to:

Recognize and identify different plants
Understand their properties and effects on the body
Forage herbs in a sustainable way
Process plants into products like tea, oils, salves, or soap
Grow and propagate selected herbs

Along the way, you’ll create your own herb pocket book, which becomes your personal guide to the plants you get to know.

You don’t need any prior knowledge about plants, the most important thing is that you’re curious.

“Even though I had no knowledge of herbs, it was easy to understand! Herbal Journey has always been super cozy and exciting. I at least know three plants that end in officinalis, more than I did before. Sara is skilled and great at teaching and sharing her knowledge about plants.”
