April 12, May 3, June 28 on Saturdays from 1pm - 4pm

In this 3-part series, we will explore medicinal and edible plants that are local to the Pacific Northwest. The three different course days will focus on wild edible greens, medicinal and edible seaweeds and wild berries. Each afternoon is spent in nature with hands-on opportunities to identify and forage as well as learn about medicinal properties and ways to incorporate them into our meals. Participants will have the opportunity to bring home harvests.

All 3 classes are offered as a series or you can sign up for each individually.

April 13th from 10am to 3pm on Sunday

This class is great for those wanting to take your herbal knowledge to the next level. We will explore how to apply herbal knowledge and plant medicines to people and conditions. Learn how to assess individual health needs, identify the right plant medicines, and provide effective herbal support for optimal well-being. This single day workshop will guide you through the principles of herbal assessment, matching herbs to people and conditions, and practical ways to incorporate plant-based healing into daily life.

The Enduring Beauty of Camas and Native Edible Bulbs
May 10, 1–4 PM | A Scenic Bluff near Deception Pass

Step into the world of native edible bulbs—Camas, Wild Onion, Fairy Slipper, Chocolate Lily, Tiger Lily and others—plants whose roots intertwine with the land’s history, culture, and ecology.

In this class, we’ll honor these extraordinary species, learning their stories and exploring their fragile existence as many face the threat of endangerment. Through discussions on restoration and conservation, we’ll uncover ways to nurture their resurgence in the wild.

Together, we’ll admire their delicate beauty and seasonal rhythms, drawing inspiration for art and poetry from their vibrant blooms and quiet resilience. With the stunning backdrop of a bluff near Deception Pass, we’ll reflect on the reciprocal relationship between humans and the plants that sustain us.

This gathering invites those who seek connection with the earth, a deeper understanding of native ecosystems, and the inspiration to celebrate nature’s gifts through creativity.

June 1 & 2: Saturday 10-4, Sunday 10-3

This is one of our most popular Wildroot Botanicals workshops. The pristine Methow Valley is home to many medicinal plants that are not found on the western side of the mountains. During this weekend trip we will be visiting several sites where we learn in depth about a diverse array of plants. Focus will be on identification, medicinal applications as well as spending time harvesting the plants.

The plants that will be harvested depends on the seasonal growth cycle of the plants during this time. Most likely we will be identifying and exploring the medicinal uses of arnica, arrow leaf balsamroot, morel mushrooms, elder flower, pipsissewa, yarrow, red root, false solomon's seal, wild onions and more.

Students will learn how to prepare medicines from our harvests and bring their preparations home with them.

Space is limited so register early if you’d like to join us.

July 12-13 from 10am - 3pm on Saturday & Sunday

We will spend this weekend together with other like minded plant lovers, immersing ourselves in nature. We will be slowly steeping in the healing properties of the plants we work with through hands-on harvesting, processing and medicine making.

Participants will have opportunities to submerge into the healing ways of plants by spending time with them, sensorially experiencing their scents, textures, growing patterns and developing a personal connection with them. Demonstrations will include processing each plant in their own unique ways to preserve their medicinal attributes, drying techniques, hydrosol production and alcohol extraction.
