Course Description:

Amy Kousch, head grower and owner/operator of Berchta Botanicals (Northern Colorado’s only specialized medicinal plant nursery and farm school), presents this course on growing medicinal plants.  Attendees will learn how to cultivate medicinal plants in their own gardens through science-based and engaging instruction. 

Participants will learn about living roots systems of medicinal plants and how to incorporate these subterranean communities into their own landscapes in practical ways. Students will explore the fascinating world of medicinal plant science from the perspective of seed science. We will learn practical medicinal plant information and engage in hands-on seed-starting techniques as well as dive into the science and art of designing a backyard garden that will serve as a pharmacy for you and your family’s needs. We will cover scenario planning, site and soil considerations, individual needs, and agroecology. Attendees will leave with resources to help them grow!
