Create Your Living Apothecary - Online Masterclass
A Permaculture Approach to Growing, Processing, and Using Herbs at Home
Medicinal plants can be more than herbs tucked into the corner of a garden. They can become part of a living landscape that supports your family’s health, feeds pollinators, builds beauty, strengthens resilience, and deepens your relationship with the land.
In this 3-hour online masterclass, herbalist, beekeeper, farmer, and permaculture educator Anna Maria Desipris will guide you into the world of living apothecaries: gardens and landscapes designed to grow medicine, food, beauty, pollinator habitat, and ecological health all at once.
This class is not about memorizing hundreds of plants or trying to become a clinical herbalist in one evening. It is about learning how to begin. You will learn how to think about medicinal plants through a permaculture lens, how to choose plants based on your people and place, and how to begin designing a medicinal landscape that fits your home, garden, homestead, farm, or community space.
Many people are trying to become more resilient, less dependent on outside systems, and more connected to the plants that can support everyday wellness. But medicinal plants are often taught separately from ecology, gardening, design, and land stewardship. This masterclass brings those worlds together.
Together, we will explore how medicinal plants can be woven into gardens, food forests, hedgerows, orchards, pollinator plantings, home landscapes, and small farms. You will learn how to think beyond the herb garden and begin creating a living apothecary that supports people, soil, pollinators, beauty, and long-term abundance.
What We’ll Cover
You will learn:
- What a living apothecary is and how it differs from a basic herb garden
- How medicinal plants fit into whole-systems permaculture design
- How to choose plants based on your family, land, climate, and goals
- Common categories of medicinal plants and how they support everyday wellness
- How to design medicinal plants into gardens, food forests, orchards, edges, and small spaces
- How to think about stacking functions: medicine, food, pollinators, fertility, beauty, and resilience
- Basic considerations for harvesting, drying, storing, and preparing herbs
- How to begin sketching and planning your own living apothecary at home
This Masterclass Is For
This class is for gardeners, herbalism beginners, homesteaders, permaculture students, pollinator lovers, small acreage owners, farmsteaders, and anyone who wants to grow a deeper relationship with medicinal plants and the land.
You do not need to be an experienced herbalist. You do not need a large property. You only need curiosity, a willingness to learn, and a desire to begin creating a more healing and abundant landscape.
