Refund Policy
· All class ticket sales are considered a donation to Fox Haven and help us to fulfill our mission. Full refunds (minus a 20% processing fee) will be given to any participant canceling at least 30 days prior to the scheduled class date. Due to the nature of full series commitments, no refunds will be processed once the series has started.
· Enrollment cannot be transferred to another class. If you are within the 30-day cancellation period, it is best to request a refund and sign up for the desired replacement.
Herbal Allies: A Hands-On Herbal Learning Series
Herbs have a way of drawing us in when we take a moment to pause and pay attention. In Herbal Allies, we take the time to meet one plant at a time—observing where it grows, noticing its scents and flavors, and exploring how it moves through our lives. Each session is a chance to connect with plants and people through shared curiosity and hands-on practice.
Together we’ll:
- Visit where the plant grows
- Look, smell, taste, and talk about the herb together
- Notice how the herb shows up in your body and daily life, if familiar
- Explore the historical and present uses of the plant
- Make an herbal preparation in class
- Take home a finished product or enjoy a recipe together in community
Open to all levels of experience, Herbal Allies emphasizes learning through connection—supporting confidence, curiosity, and affinity-based relationships with plants.
This program includes two options: Morning Sessions and Afternoon Sessions.
You can choose to join one or both. Morning & Afternoon sessions are sold separately.

About LandBack Tax
From 2022 onward, Fox Haven will donate $2 from each event ticket to the Piscataway Conoy Tribe to pay LandBack tax, acknowledging our access to stolen Indigenous land. Through Piscataway Eyes is an Indigenous-led initiative working to restore ancestral land and sovereignty to the Piscataway and other Indigenous communities of the Chesapeake.
Weather Policy
If inclement weather is predicted ahead of an event, you will be notified 48 hours before the event date about any cancellation or rescheduling. Otherwise, the event is presumed to take place rain or shine. An alternative venue may be arranged if shelter is required. Please note that refunds are not provided for postponed events or no-shows. However, if Fox Haven cancels, a full refund will be issued.
COVID Protocol
Please do not come to class if you are feeling ill or have been exposed to others who are sick. Email alecks@foxhavenfarm.org to discuss your absence. Masks are optional during all events.
