Herbal Education
Curious about herbalism and medicinal plants?
As an herbalist, folk-botanist, organic gardener and California Naturalist, I’m all about hands on, interactive learning. Kids aren’t the only ones who want to have fun! With 13 years of education experience, I love sharing wonders of herbs and nature in a way that is engaging and accessible.
“I left this experience feeling like our family had come into a new relationship with the land that surrounds us - one where we feel a greater degree of humility, curiosity, and intentionality in how we engage with many growing things...
I couldn’t wait to start making dandelion root tea, and to garnish future soups with the onion flowers that grow wild on our own hillside. The children can’t wait for our next herb walk with Tessa, now that we all know how much more there is to learn.”
I offer herbal activities for team-building, classes or other events in the San Francisco Bay Area and virtually. Email hello@tessakappe.com if you’d like to organize a walk, workshop or herbal pop-up!
Herb Walks
For individuals, groups or families with a focus on basic botany, plant families, i.d. and medicinal/edible uses. Tastings may be included!
Community Herbalism
Classes and hands on workshops with a variety of herbal medicine themes.
Everyday Botany
Great for adults, youth and non-science folks! Emphasis on edible and medicinal plants with a lens to queer and decolonize how we study nature.
