Creativity and Wellbeing inspired by nature

Lauren Snyder (they/she)

Queer Herbalist, Botanical Artisan, and Plant Walk Guide.
 

Alchemist of Thimble and Seed; a tapestry of delights to invite people into the wisdom and whimsy of the plant world.
 

Deeply rooted resident of the Ojai Valley for over four decades and four family generations.
 

Lover of plants; a connection started by my fourth grade teacher through a thoroughly exciting introduction to sticky monkey flower.
 

Lifelong student of local elders, hands on learning, and lots and lots of books. (I REALLY love a good book!)
 

Delightfully inquisitive explorer and purveyor of “Let’s just try it and see how it goes”

Enigmatic Herbal Gardener employing both a highly strategized system and a dash of chaos.
 

Occasional poet, frequent artist, and collector of hobbies.
 

Visual Learner and Sensory teacher; if I teach a workshop, it most definitely has a handout and I’m bringing something you can taste, touch, or smell.  
 

Breaker of binaries and challenger of constraints; bring your crayons, we’re coloring outside the lines!
 

Serial volunteer and community helper; a practice quite literally only hindered by time constraints and chronic autoimmune disease.
