Welcome to the EverGreen Herb Garden and the EverGreen Wholistic Ministry. We provide an inspiring setting for the study of herbal medicine. Our integrative approach incorporates Western, Ayurvedic, and Chinese systems of medical treatment. Our herbal studies programs help each person find their own path to health and well-being. We are dedicated to educating people using holistic principles that honor the body, mind, and spirit. These principles empower the person with the informed awareness needed for making their own health care decisions. This spring and summer, you may want a tour of the gardens! Give a call and make an appointment to see them!

We welcome you to come join us, experience the wonders of natural therapies, and learn how to apply the rich healing arts of Integrative Herbology. There are over 200 different medicinal herbs growing in our gardens including many ornamentals that heal us through their beauty. At 2500 feet, our gardens reflect four seasons of beauty. The Winter garden is quiet and the trees are bare, most plants are dormant. But by February we start seeing the hundreds of bulbs that have been planted here making their way up, the violets begin to bloom and the camellias have buds and flowers opening. By May the gardens are in full swing and have awakened from their winter slumber to such glory. April, May and June are the most colorful and this might be a good time for you to make an appointment to visit! The late summer, August and September, is the hardest time for the plants with the dry weather and heat - but with mulching and watering the gardens maintain their late summer loveliness. .

Come learn Integrative Herbology in our gardens while you experience the peace and beauty that abounds year round.

We will be giving herb walks again this year in the Sacramento area as well as in the Sierras to help people identify the local medicinal plants and learn how to utilize them. These walks are very popular and are great fun to attend. Last summer we hiked about 4 miles along the north edge of Caples Lake off highway 88 at 7500' and found dozens of medicinals; arnica, valerian, angelica, oshala and many more.

This year we are offering the beginning herbal program at Soil Born Farm in Rancho Cordova. It is a 4 month program with one class per month on Saturdays. This may enable people who live in the city to more easily attend the program.

Our Community Herbalist program, intermediate/advanced studies, will begin in April and is for those who have an herbal background and want to deepen their grasp of formulation evaluation of the clients and herbal preparations.
