Herbal Foundations Final Exam Opens

Beginning June 8th, the final exam for the Community Herbalism Course will open. This course was developed to help folks build a healthy foundation in community herbalism, drawing directly from Herbalista’s decades of community-based work—free clinics, mobile care projects, kitchens, gardens, and street-level care. Through lectures, handouts, and invitational Herbwork, students are encouraged not just to learn about herbs, but to use, make, and share them, cultivating practical skills, critical thinking, and a deep sense of responsibility to the greater community.

Starting this year, students who pass the final exam with a score of 70% or higher and submit a portfolio of Herbwork will be eligible to receive a Certificate of Completion. The exam will be available beginning June 8th, with two attempts allowed. Portfolio submissions will open later in the summer, with full details and submission links shared at that time. The first portfolio submission deadline will be September 15, 2026.
