A full offering of programs is now open for registration!

We are very excited to have a wide range of learning and garden connection opportunities- some starting up very soon!

Spaces are limited, register early to avoid disappointment. And note we are using a registration request form now for longer term programs- this allows you to custom choose the amount you pay as well as customizing splitting payments to keep our programs as accessible as possible. All of our programs have varying degrees of stepping into community and land care with us- this continues to be an important part of how we learn together- through reciprocity with the land and each other.

Land & Body: TeaCare Cohort

4 Sundays 10am-12noon May 5 & 19, June 9, July 14 Sliding scale from $55 to $85

with Rebecca Wang. A chance to step into the gardens and ‘steep in learning’: tending and  harvesting from the plants that make for excellent cups of herbal  tea that grow in both of EartHand’s learning gardens.

Growing our own food in the city can be both a big challenge as well as a big commitment for time. Growing, tending and harvesting plants for personal herbal tea however, can be a simpler way to step into thinking about relational and  local ways to fuel our bodies. Learn more and register here.
