This offering is shared through my lens as a mixed Yakama, Irish & Eastern European person. Much of what I share has been gifted through 20+ years of experience & directly from the Plants, Dreamtime, and tending to them over the years as well as Naturopathic Doctor training, human Teachers & gardening with my parents, and Grandparents.
This is more than just a 'gardening' course {and not a wide scoped permaculture course!}.

Likely, yes!! Please send me an email if you are unsure {xalishmedicines@gmail.com}. Usually within zones 3-10. Most of these Plant kin are adaptable to different garden zones. There can be modifications made depending where you live. We typically start our seeds indoors even when it's still snowy & cold outside! This gives them time to grow a bit before we transplant them outside. I also share direct sowing techniques if you don't want to start them indoors :) If you are in a warmer year round climate, you may need to adjust their timing in planting. Most of these Plant kin do well in temperate zones.
