Experience Vibrant Health
Through the healing power of plants
We’re a woman-owned & women-run apothecary here to help you experience radiant well-being with herbal medicine.
Because learning to use plants for healing can be mind-boggling, we’re here to guide you through the garden.
Our staff of certified clinical herbalists are here to support you as a whole person–not a collection of labels and pathologies.
We offer private consultations and craft custom formulas suited to your unique needs because we believe there’s no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to health.
Come visit us to explore our extensive apothecary of organic and/or locally-sourced dried herbs, extracts, and oils to reclaim a healthier you.

This class will build on our dried plant extract workshop. We’ll go over best harvesting practices so that you can safely and mindfully harvest fresh herbs to tincture.
The Elderberry is now taking appointments for in-person mini-consults! If you’re interested in talking with a herbalist about a health concern and want more in-depth service from The Elderberry staff, or if you would like to see if working with an herbalist is right for you, or if a mini-consult is the budget-friendly option for you to begin your healing journey, book on in!
Creating a liquid extract from medicinal mushrooms requires a 2-step process to extract the water and alcohol soluble constituents from the mushrooms. If you’re already familiar with tincture making, this class will take your skill level up a notch and allow you to create potent tinctures from mushrooms like reishi and lion’s mane.
Celebrate 10 years of community herbs and healing with food, music, demonstrations, and good vibes :)
If you love the convenience of tinctures but don’t love the alcohol, this class is for you! Learn how to create alcohol-free liquid extracts using glycerine, vinegar, and honey. A favorite for delivering herbs to kids as well as adults!

While we often call on plant medicines to heal our physical bodies, they can also support the more subtle layers of our being. Flower essences offer this kind of support. They can help us make profound energetic shifts that allow deep healing to happen on an emotional or spiritual level.

“When I walked into the Elderberry three years ago, I didn’t realize I was making one of the best decisions for myself, my health and well-being. Working with Jan and Heather has been an experience I truly treasure. I am thankful that I decided to put my trust in their knowledge and expertise and embark on the journey to better health and healing with herbs. For me, it has been a process of trials and adjustments and that has not been easy at times because I can fall into the “I want it fixed right now” mentality. However, as a result of their gentle guidance and perseverance, I have been lucky enough to experience the healing power of herbs….”
