An important part of Herb Pharm's mission is educating people on the
safe and effective use of medicinal herbs, and inspiring a love for plants,
and a respect for nature and the environment.
Throughout the year, Herb Pharm representatives conduct a variety of educational
events that are open to the public. These can include guided "Herb Walks" where
we lead you through botanical gardens or other natural settings and discuss
the role of medicinal plants indigenous to that area. They may also include
educational lectures where the public is invited to join us for a presentation
on a particular health concern and the application of medicinal herbs.
Lastly, if you ever make the pilgrimage to southern Oregon's Applegate
Valley (and why wouldn't you?) you can join us for regularly scheduled
public tours of our 85-acre certified organic farm, our Botanical Educational Garden
where we propagate at-risk and endangered plant species, and our herbal extraction
facility.
