Green Witch Gardening eCourse
Add magic to your garden . . .
. . . or a garden to your magic with this ecourse
Have you wanted to add more magical intention into your garden or gardening to your magical practice?
Whether you dream of cultivating herbs, flowers, or vegetables, this eCourse will provide you with the tools you need to succeed.
What is magic? Beliefs and ideas manifested into physical form with the use of spiritual tools such as meditation, ritual, ceremony, songs, altars, and others.
I believe magic helps make a successful garden and gardens help make magic more successful.
What is Green Witch Gardening?
- Give back to nature through general garden care and energetically through prayer, song, ritual, ceremony, and other ways.

About Me
Hi, I’m Erin LaFaive, Master Herbalist and Plant Priestess
I’ve been studying and practicing nature spirituality for decades. I’ve worked in three greenhouses learning to cultivate and care for herbs, vegetables, shrubs, and trees. Also, I’ve taught 1000s of people of all ages about herbalism, horticulture, and environmental subjects for well over 10 years.
Since my days of gardening as a child in Wisconsin, I’ve always been captivated by plants. They soothed me in times of trouble. They were always there for me. It’s as if I could sense their encouragement.
The hidden knowledge and versatility of plant life is astounding. During my teen years, I began my self-studies in herbalism – and like you, I was passionate about the topic, but overwhelmed with the information and a bit lost (and lonely) about how to continue.
As a Plant Priestess, my passion is bringing us back to the sacred world of plants.
I worked for a federally recognized shamanic Wiccan church for 6 months, interned with a cultural healing center with a tribal nation, and experienced other ways of knowing through ceremony, ritual, sacred fire circles, sweat lodges, and other activities.
