There will be handouts, and the following items you can purchase: Books, plants, propagation material, seeds, and herbal products. TEACHERS: Michael Pilarski and Michael Laurie Michael Pilarski has been commercially farming and wildcrafting medicinal plants for 22 years in the Maritime and interior Pacific Northwest. He farms a diversity of medicinal and food plants in complex, agroforestry systems.

Michael Laurie has been growing medicinal herbs and making tincture, teas, and medicinal oils for over 18 years on Vashon Island, and 13 years on his current property. He has been growing all organic. The property is certified as a medicinal herb botanical sanctuary by United Plant Savers. There are currently over 70 species of medicinal plants on the property. There are also many permaculture/sustainability features on the property. REGISTRATION: Price: $50. A few work/trade positions will be made available. Pay in advance to reserve your spot in the class. We are limiting registration to 30 attendees for each class. We expect to sell out for both classes, and have a waiting list. Doing it this way will help minimize the traffic congestion in our small neighborhood, so we will able to offer more classes in the future.
