Elise and Jeff and crew have been growing and offering the highest quality herbs in the US for 13 years now. If you can help support them get back on their feet and be able to start rebuilding and harvest what they have in the fields.

Flower tour of the CSHS garden! 🌸

This surprisingly warm spring has blessed us with an abundance of blooms for our students to admire.

There are beautiful bleeding hearts and violets peeking out amongst our Eastern Woodlands section, dandelions dotting our paths, and western trillium greeting us along the driveway.

There are so many things to love about spring. Even our angelica is saying an early hello. 🌱

Help us support our beloved mentor, teacher, and friend David Hoffmann as he navigates new health challenges and the frustration of health care costs.

David has received an encouraging prognosis around a recently-discovered pancreatic tumor, but has been burdened with significant medical expenses which should have been covered by Medicare.

Students, colleagues, and herbal community, if you’ve been impacted by David’s teaching or his books, please consider donating to his GoFundMe to help alleviate some of the stress of financial uncertainty so David can focus on healing. 💚
