This offering is shared through my lens as a mixed Yakama, Irish & Eastern European person. Much of what I share has been gifted through experience & directly from the Plants, Dreamtime, and tending to them over the years as well as Naturopathic Doctor training, human Teachers & gardening with my parents, and Grandparents. It is not just a 'gardening' course {and not a wide scoped permaculture course!} as I've had folks join just for the Plant Monographs & BONUS Lessons on Ancestral connections, ritual, and medicine making recipe book.
