General Info

Founded by Teresa Boardwine, RH (AGH) in 1994, Green Comfort's mission is to offer a variety of educational opportunities for herbal studies, support the health of our local community, and preserve native medicinal plants in the process. One of our primary annual programs is Foundations of Medicinal Herbalism, which is based on the pathophysiologic systems, phytochemistry, and actions of the plants. Our Herbal Apothecary course is for the herbal novice, offering a hands-on laboratory approach to creating herbal wellness products. We also offer advanced clinical training opportunities for students working toward becoming a Registered Herbalist with the American Herbalists Guild, our Clinic Practicum program and our annual Herbal Energetics course. For those curious about the power of plants (and want an opportunity to escape the city and visit our botanical sanctuary), we offer one-day workshops and a three day Herb Camp for adults.
