Enrolling New Members Now! 🌸🪻🌸 Our first Garden Story Project Starts January 2027
An adult learning community of books, plants, discussion, and hands-on herbal education.
The Herbal Study Circle™ is ARHS’s adult learning community where books, plants, stories, and shared knowledge come together. Participants explore herbalism through reading, discussion, plant studies, seasonal topics, hands-on activities, and practical challenges. It is a place to continue learning, exchange ideas, build confidence, and grow alongside other curious herbalists.
Where books open the door to herbal wisdom.
The Rooted Circle is an adult educational book circle exploring ancestral knowledge, herbal wisdom, practical plant knowledge, and community wellness through books, discussion, and hands-on learning.
