Come curious. Come hungry for knowledge. Come with a basket.
Everyone is welcome.
About
Elemental Herbalism is a school of herbal learning founded by Lily of the Herbs, bringing together over a decade of teaching in herbal medicine making, foraging and plant-based living.
Today, Elemental Herbalism is a growing collective of facilitators sharing practical herbal knowledge and traditional plant skills with communities across the country.
Their approach is grounded in connection—to plants, people and place—and in keeping herbal knowledge practical, accessible and alive.
The Herbalism Market brings this spirit beyond the classroom, creating a space where herbalists, makers, growers, students and the wider community can come together to share knowledge, discover botanical crafts and celebrate the many ways we can connect with the plant world.
