Wrightwood Nature School
IN PERSON CLASSES
Nature School is open twice a year during the spring and fall for 8 weeks. During this time, students experience the transition from winter to spring and summer to fall as the garden moves through a cycle of birth, growth and inevitable death. Students spend time in community playing and learning about the ecosystem, regenerative gardening, herbalism and the food cycle from soil to plate to compost.

An herbal blend for summer women
My favorite way to stay hydrated during the day is drinking herbal infusions. I’ll steep some herbs overnight in a big 64 ounce mason jar, and drink it over the course of the next day. This way, not only am I drinking enough water, but I also enjoy the healing properties and nutrients in each plant.
