A living monograph of the dandelion plant.

Some times we walk past something every day of our lives and assume it is without value because it is so common.

Sometimes little things are big medicine. Dandelion has found a niche on every continent with hospitable seasons and its way into every front lawn the world over. Let us learn about the power of alternatives to transform the environment within your body.

Blair Richards-Koeslag has been learning about plants from a very early age. (So have you) let’s learn about our intuition and deeply observe our local flora while learning about the inner workings of our own bodies.

Blair is a PINA certified Permaculture teacher, Chartered herbalist through the Dominion herbal college and manages the Golden Bough Tree Farm.

Sometimes the medicine is so obvious that we don't realize we're looking at it. Sumac is a well known wild shrub.  This is one of the first wild edibles that I learnt about. Let's see why it's one of  Mathew Wood's favourite medicinals.

Join Blair Richards-Koeslag (Chartered Herbalist), at Earth Haven Farm for this day long deep dive into Sumac.  Come learn from the plant directly in a practice of cultivating observation, harvest and prepare medicine, and take a deep dive into research about the ancient and modern uses of this plant, and explore it's stories in myth and folklore.  Hope to see you there!
