ABOUT YOUR TEACHER – ALISON MAGILL
I love plants and all the ways they help us: giving us air to breathe, their beauty and of course, their medicine. My health is elevated thanks to the plants! I’d love to help you discover the amazing world of green medicine so that you can use plants to support your health as well.
Through the years I’ve learned from the plants themselves and from many amazing herbalists, including formal training in herbalism. Many hours in the fields, the garden and the kitchen has given me the skills and knowledge for creating a seasonally focused herbal lifestyle that includes a robust herbal apothecary. You, too, can create a healing herbal pantry to support your and your family’s health. Once you start on the plant path, you won’t want to live any other way!
