Mentorship Program
Rebecca offers a private mentorship program which will begin again in April 2026 and runs through October 2026.
We will gather on Wednesdays (every other Wednesday) from 10-2, beginning in mid-April, in the gardens of the Veterans Healing Farm where Rebecca is the steward of both the plant medicine and cut flower gardens. The medicines we craft will be distributed to our Veteran community and their caregivers and a couple of local shelters as well. We focus on seed starting in the greenhouse in early Spring, tending the plants until it’s time to plant them out in the fields, growing, harvesting, preserving, and formulating herbal medicine…A year in the life of an herbalist, putting it all together.
Prerequisites for this mentorship are to have graduated from another herbal school or been an active volunteer on the 2024 or 2025 VHF Herb Squad. Contact Rebecca to join this group.
We will do a sliding-scale donation model for payment.
*Rebecca is available for private mentorships so feel free to reach out if you’d like to get in the field or the lab with her this year.
Retreats + Events
The now annual Peace, Love, and Yoga Retreat at Green Bell Bed and Barn happens in early March each year in Georgia right when their flowers are bursting.
Capturing the energy and essence of such a special weekend via the plants and alchemy of aromatic magic is a true gift.
If that interests you, join us!

Herbal Medicine is an Art and a Craft
Are you curious about how else to use those plants in your garden?
Are the plants talking to you?
Or are you ready to engage more deeply with the rhythms of nature and plant craft and would like more insight from a professional with 20+ years of experience about how to weave it all together?
The owner and creator of aurum apotheca, Rebecca, would love to help guide you on your plant journey. It is her firm belief that the sharing of knowledge is what builds community and empowers you to create your own rhythms of care guided by the wisdom of the plants.
