And some days at Summit School Campus (Upper Ojai)

This will give us a chance to experience what it is to start a garden from the ground up, and also to get to work with and harvest from an already established garden. Once registrations are in, we will send an itinerary of which days will be at each location, and we will have carpooling options for those who would like to meet at the lower campus each day.
Hours: 9am - 1:30 pm
Week 1 - July 1-5 (No session July 4th):
Learn how to grow food and culinary herbs. During the first days. we will lay down the foundations of growing a home garden in Ojai’s unique climate. We’ll also explore apothecary arts with herbs and flowers. During these days, you can expect to work with herbs for making herbal medicines and body care remedies. We’ll also do some foraging and learn to identify some of the common native herbs that will make their way into our cooking and herbalism projects.
Commune and celebrate as we cook with the vegetables and herbs we’ve learned to grow. The last day we will reflect on our connections and the wisdom we’ve harvested over a farm-to-table lunch to be shared by all participants.
