​The overwhelming feed back we received after the first Great Lakes Herb Faire was that this region is in need of more herbal education and that the Faire helped to fill that need. 

In immediate response, the Great Lakes Herb Faire is coordinating a list of herbal classes that are happening in Michigan and Ohio. These classes are a great opportunity to maintain the momentum felt at the Faire and will help keep those budding and experienced herbalists inspired until we meet again on September 9th, 2016.

Please check back for continual updates!
