Herbal & Earth-Centered
Healing Gatherings
Herbal Gatherings
Celebrations of the Plants in Season
Herbal Gatherings are a celebration of the plants in season. Meet with people who love the earth as much as you do, to make herbal medicines, learn about healing, and celebrate the cycles of the earth. Experience yourself in harmony with nature and spirit.
The Herbal Gatherings are hands-on, earth-centered classes. We meet in my garden in Boulder, Colorado as well as directly on the land where the plants live. All classes include delicious snacks and teas made from local wild plants.
How to Join
While space is limited and pre-registration is required, you are cordially invited to come join our party with the plants! Please note that some classes require an application. Please contact me to sign up or join the waiting list by calling (303) 449-4061 or sending an email. We celebrate and welcome LGBTQI+ & BIPOC community!

The Jenny Polston Osha Grove Study Group Scholarship
Jenny was a true caretaker and voice for Osha Groves. She loved all the members of the grove from the aspen, yarrow, wood betony, wild parsley, wild rose, arnica, and spruce trees, to the rabbits, ravens, bears, moose, chipmunks, and hummingbirds.
She was a brilliant herbalist who created dozens of Osha Grove analog teas and tinctures in order to protect the groves. Jenny educated her students and clients to find alternatives to using osha root so that the groves in Colorado remain healthy and vibrant.
This scholarship honors and celebrates Jenny's work in our herbal community. She was a true leader in earth-centered herbalism.
Please contact Ann to apply, donate, or learn more about the Jenny Polston Osha Grove Study Group scholarship and Jenny's passionate stewardship of the Earth.
