A three-part, hands-on journey into the art and spirit of growing cannabis—where learning unfolds through tending, sharing, and rooting into the rhythms of the land.
Each gathering offers:
🌿 Practical, hands-on growing guidance
🌿 Space to ask questions and learn in community
🌿 Special guests—local growers sharing lived wisdom
🌿 A chance to deepen your relationship with the plant and the seasons
🌾 Grow & Commune:
More than a class—this is a shared tending. Seeds of knowledge passed hand to hand, as we learn to nurture what wishes to grow.
🚜 Optional Field Trip:
After each session, those who feel called are warmly invited to continue the journey together at the nearby Woodstock Farmers Market—strolling, connecting, and drawing inspiration from the vibrant community.
It’s a chance to support local growers and artisans, and to share a nourishing meal from the delicious offerings prepared by local vendors.
