Hikes & Workshops
Our hikes explore northwest Oregon and beyond. We visit our favorite places at peak times, encountering orchids in bloom and mushrooms in flush. These trips are educational and experiential.

The workshops span a broad range of topics. Some provide hands-on experience in gathering and crafting homemade botanical medicines; others explore the materia medica of a certain condition or season. Among our offerings for 2008 are:
