Ongoing Education Programs
Our herbal education classes run multiple times, year-round, with in-person and online options!
Level 1: Herbal Foundations Certificate Program is currently in session, running one Saturday per month May-October and October-April. This is a hands-on training program in the how-to of Western Herbalism. Terminology, body system imbalances, Materia Medica of over 60 plants, and formulation of teas, infusions, tinctures, syrups, creams, salves, flower essences and more are included. Our online Level 1 course runs asynchronously and can be joined at any time!
Our Level 2: the Practicing Herbalist’s Path is also in session, running one weekend in August on our farm in West Greenwich, RI. This class expands the herbal student’s understanding of anatomy/physiology and pathology/disease of a system, addresses commonly used chemical constituents and synergistic formulas, explores health justice principles, cultural competency, and how these apply to herbalism, and addresses herbs for specific populations.
Available during the summer on Farmacy Herbs’ farm, our farm internship & our Lil’ Sprouts Day Camp also runs yearly.
