Plant School is a 6-month course for Black, Indigenous, and racialized Peoples from May to October in the dish with one spoon {guelph, ontario}. Students will learn hands-on skills related to herbal medicine while continuing the legacies of resistance, self-determination, and stewardship. This course is open to people invested in the liberation of Peoples globally. People at all stages of their learning journeys with plants are welcome.
The Field School Track is part of Plant School (click here for more info on Plant School)
This track takes place outside, both in the garden and the forest trails! Through hands-on activities, plant ID walks, medicine-making, and discussions, we will blend theory with practice so that the knowledge is practical and, above all, fun!
Topics include cultivating plants, caring for Indigenous species, herbal energetics, seed saving, and relationship to the land.
Each month, students slowly build their own herbal apothecary and make medicine, including teas, salves, syrups, herbal honey, and more. You’ll also receive digital handouts about the plants you learn about.
Classes take place on Sundays from 10 am - 3:30 pm. May 24, June 28, July 26, August 30, September 27, October 25
Field School takes place outside at the 600-acre Ignatius Centre and in our half-acre medicine garden, rain or shine, so be prepared for all types of weather. Bring your rubber boots, a sun hat, a sweater or anything else you need. Bathroom access is limited to outhouses. Antibacterial wipes and toilet paper will be provided.
Many of the students in this program come from Toronto, Kitchener, and beyond. A Signal group chat is set up to arrange ride shares and communicate. Bus service is also available from Toronto, Mississauga, and Kitchener.
Registration is $450-650, sliding scale. All plant material provided.
The registration deadline is March 13th. There are limited spots available and will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis. The amount is non-refundable.
