Sign up for Cutting Root Farm's Grow your own Apothecary Cohort
Starting with a free webinar in December, come along to dream, plan and grow your herb garden with us! Michelle has over a decade of experience growing herbs on the farm and in the backyard garden and wants to help you create the garden of your dreams. Come to one or all of our gatherings in 2026 and get a wealth of knowledge about seed starting, cultivating perennial and annual herbs, harvesting and making herbal medicines as well as $40 of seedlings, herbs and materials each session to help you apply what you learn at the farm to your own space.
This program will run in person one Sunday per season, March, May, July, and September. We promise you seven months of expert support, community members witnessing your growth, and a whole lot of herbs ready to use for yourself and your loved ones.
December: Free webinar. Garden design scheming and garden inventory dreaming. See pictures of plants! Nerd out to our seed starting spreadsheet! All are welcome as we put out our feelers for what we all want to grow in 2026!
March Lets take inventory of our supplies and pick up seeds and growing supplies from Michelle! We'll map out our growing spaces and get everything in order for the coming season. We'll propagate elderberry trees together.
May We'll assess our seedlings, see what the reality is for our plants and get them in the ground. We'll trouble shoot and build resources to help our gardens thrive into summer.
July We'll learn about harvesting flowers and leaves from our herb plants and how to turn them into medicines for our families. We'll make a tincture, a syrup, an oil and a tea together so that we can go home and craft with our botanicals for the rest of the growing season.
September We'll harvest roots together and learn about putting our garden to bed. We're already thinking about next year and about how all our perennial plants can thrive in the garden- but not spread and take over any area.
Cost: $155 for four sessions and supplies OR $60 for a stand alone class
Location: We will meet together once a month at the farm in Butler, 949 Mercer Road Butler PA 16001.
Schedule: We will meet from 2-4pm on Sunday afternoons.
