One of our most common weed trees, Russian Olive (Elaeagnus angustifolia), is often seen as the enemy but when we start looking closer we can see the deep value of this beautiful tree. We see that this tree is here to serve us, carrying so much deep medicine in the leaves, bark, berries, and flowers. It is an important member of our ecosystem, providing food for animals, flowers for pollinators, and a plethora of medicinal properties for human use. We will do an in depth, deep dive look at Russian Olive and all the many ways to use this plant in our own apothecary.

This class is valued at $30. We encourage you to pay what you can from $0 to what you feel comfortable with. Paying extra ensures our staff gets paid well and helps cover the cost of someone who cant pay anything. If you are the person who cant pay anything, all blessings, cant wait to see you here!

Please register here for the class and let us know within 24 hours if you are unable to attend, as space is limited. Your donations contribute to materials and time, and they directly support our mission of providing accessible herbalism for the community. With your help, we hope to offer workshops in Spanish in the future, expanding our herbalism community even further.
