One last invitation to join us for Year One 🌿

Our new Year One cohort begins September 16th, and we have just a couple of spots left.

If you’ve been feeling the pull to walk the herbal path - to know the plants around you, understand their traditional uses, make medicine with your own hands, and develop a strong foundation in the practice of herbalism - this is your moment.

Over the course of the year, we’ll explore:
🌱 Materia medica & herbal therapeutics
🌿 Botany & plant identification
🫙 Medicine making as a collective
🌾 Herbs as food & traditional nutrition
🫶 Holistic anatomy & physiology
🍃 Energetics & traditional approaches to healing
🌳 Learning directly with plants, in the field and in community

Year One begins September 16th. If you’ve been considering joining us, now is the time to reach out.

Come learn the plants.
Come deepen your practice.
Come grow with us.

THE FIRST HERBAL CLINIC OF THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR! 🌿

A new school year is beginning, and with it comes a new season of learning, growing, and serving our community. We’re so excited to welcome our new students and our returning students as they begin their year of clinic! 🌱

Our first community herbal clinic of the year will be:

🌼 Sunday, September 20
📍 At our school in New Paltz, NY

This is a special time for our students to put their learning into practice while offering meaningful, individualized herbal support to members of our community - all with the guidance and supervision of our experienced core faculty.

Clients will receive a personalized herbal consultation and wellness protocol designed around their individual needs, goals, and overall vitality.

We’re so excited to open the clinic doors again and begin another year of learning, connection, and community care. 💚

We can’t wait to welcome you back!

A new season of study begins, bringing students together to deepen their relationship with herbalism, with place, and with one another.

There is no perfect moment to begin studying herbalism.

Often, the journey begins with a quiet curiosity - a desire to know the plants around us, care for our communities, and deepen our connection with the natural world.

At ArborVitae, students learn through relationship: with plants, with place, and with one another. Our Three-Year Clinical Herbalism Program weaves together botany, materia medica, medicine making, clinical herbalism, energetics, nutrition, and more with such an amazing group of core teachers, guest teachers and peers.

Our September cohort is still accepting applications on a rolling basis.

If you’ve been feeling called to begin, we invite you to explore the program and connect with us.

A vibrant herbal education is shaped by many hands. Our guest teachers bring depth, diversity, and years of lived experience into the classroom, helping students encounter herbal medicine through many different lenses.

Today, we’re honored to share a reflection from Lena DeGloma, who teaches our classes on Women’s Health + the Reproductive System.

“I’ve been teaching at ArborVitae for over a decade, and it’s always a pleasure to spend time with the ArborVitae community. I love connecting with students from such diverse backgrounds, each bringing their own passions and goals within herbal medicine. The beautiful old farmhouse in New Paltz, the supportive learning environment, and the sense of community make it a truly special place to teach. It’s an honor to be part of helping the next generation of herbalists grow.“

Learning herbalism happens in many places.

In the classroom. Out in the field. Around the medicine-making table. In conversation with teachers and classmates. And often, during the quiet moments in between.

Our hybrid program brings these experiences together through live online classes and monthly weekends in New Paltz. Students join us from across the tri-state area, gathering throughout the year to learn with the plants, their teachers, and one another.

We believe some of the richest learning happens not only in the classroom, but in the relationships that grow through returning to the same place, season after season.

If you’re curious about joining us in New Paltz, you’ll find travel and lodging information on our Locations page through the link in our bio.

An herbal education rooted in relationship.

At ArborVitae, learning herbalism is about more than studying plants. It’s about developing relationships - with the plants, your teachers, your peers, and the practice itself.

Students explore a range of herbal traditions while receiving hands-on training, clinical experience, and mentorship from experienced practitioners. Along the way, they’re supported in discovering the approaches that resonate most deeply with them and cultivating a practice of their own.

Many traditions. One living practice. 🌀

Applications for the 2026-27 school year are currently being reviewed on a rolling basis.
