it all started 8 years ago... 👩🏻‍🏫


Hi Reader!

I taught my first herbalism class in the summer of 2018 (I can't believe I've been doing this for 8 years already!) and it was really fun and immensely satisfying.

My friend Jenny and I got together with 15 others in one of our favorite local cafe's to talk about summer skin care + to make some skin nourishing herbal products.

Everyone, including myself, left feeling invigorated + empowered, excited about all of the wonderful healing options available when you welcome plants and herbs into your life!

Since then I have led dozens of herbalism classes right here at Wild Heart, at regional herbalism conferences, with local garden clubs, and online during covid.

It never gets old! I LOVE teaching about herbalism and introducing others to the incredible empowering and healing benefits of collaborating with the world and plants around us for nourishment, healing, and support.

Wild Heart's next herbalism class is next week! On Thursday evening at 6:30 I will be leading our most popular class - Introduction to Herbalism!

This class is perfect for for you if you are yearning to begin your herbal journey, you've been dabbling with herbs for a while, or just want to connect with other like-hearted local herb lovers in our community.

We will gather in our cozy living room, drink tea (iced of course), and chat about:

  • what herbalism even is + who practices it
  • my favorite and most beneficial herbal medicine (can you guess?!)
  • how herbalism practices differ around the world
  • wonderful herbs to get started with right away
  • how to make tea, tinctures, oils, salves, syrups, and more!

It's really a wonderful evening, dusk in the gardens is divine, and I sincerely hope you will join us! Click here to learn more and sign up!

Wild Heart is looking sooo cute over here covered in ivy with doors open, letting in the fresh air and city summer sounds. The gardens are lush and blooming, its a wonderful time for a visit!

We are open Wednesday, Thursday, Friday 12-5 and Saturday 10-3.

Come on by for a visit! I would love to see you!

Love, Nico

PS - We will be closed July 1-4 for a little summer vacay and its my birthday! So be sure to stop by before the end of the month to refill on herbs, pick up some Town Farm Tonics Tulsi Lime Electrolyte Mix (have you tried it yet?! its soooo good!), and one of our new super cute embroidery kits!

Happy final week of summer Reader! Thank you all so much for the outpouring of love, encouragement, and support I received last week after announcing the upcoming closing of Wild Heart Herb House at Haskell Gardens.

I have gone back many a time to re-read your messages and comments, they give me hope and strength during moments when I'm like what the fuuuuukkkkk am I going to dooooo??!?!...

Hi there Reader, I come to you today with a grateful heart, humble greetings, and some sad and unexpected news to share. You may have noticed that I have been a bit more absent than usual in these emails and on instagram, and maybe not my usual self when you have visited Wild Heart Herb House this summer... It is with gratitude for the past, sadness in the present, and curiosity and excitement for the future that I announce - Wild Heart Herb House at Haskell Gardens will be closing at the end...

Hi Reader! I AM SO EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THAT WILD HEART HERB FEST IS BACK FOR AN INSPIRING, EDUCATIONAL, AND FUN FILLED THIRD YEAR!! Imagine the most wonderful day meandering through magical gardens, being inspired by local herbalists sharing their experience + knowledge, receiving much needed self care, a picnic in the park, getting to know your local herbal community, heart opening ceremony, herbal remedies, and so much more! It's a perfect day for seasoned herb lovers AND those just curious...
