Save money. Save each other. Save the planet. 

Learn to grow and preserve the multi-purpose plants we need in every garden.

"Absolutely loving that I can now grow less and get more with plants that fill multiple roles at once...food, medicine, skincare, and natives... all from the same garden bed!"

— Paula J.

You don't need acres of land.
You don't need a perfect setup.
You just need to know which plants are worth your time.

You're not looking for a lifestyle overhaul.
You're not trying to abandon modern medicine or become someone you're not.

You just want real skills. Practical knowledge.

The ability to look at your yard and know what to do with what's there...

You want to spend less money on things that should be simple.

You want to feel capable.

You want to stop being so dependent on systems that were designed to put profits over people.


Resistance Gardening cuts through that.


This is a self-paced online course built around multipurpose plants chosen specifically because each one doubles or triples as food, medicine, skincare, and/or land restoration. 

Some are North American natives. Some are "weeds". Some you might already be growing as food but have even more uses you didn't know about. 

No fear mongering. 
No lifestyle overhaul required. 
Just practical skills for people who want to work with plants in the real world.

What you'll learn:

How each plant works

Not just a quick blurb on what each plant is “good for”. We dive into the biology behind them and the cultural traditions that came long before the research caught up

How to work with your land, not against it 

Ethical harvesting, soil care, seed saving, composting, and ecological principles in plain language

How to grow these plants wherever you are

Containers, small beds, community plots, or a full garden — the fundamentals work regardless of how much space you have

How to make real medicine from what you grow

Poultices, compresses, oil extractions, balms, salves, and herbal first aid recipes — made in a real kitchen without expensive equipment

"I’m an avid gardener and I still learned so much! It’s especially nice that I only have to plant most of these once and they’ll keep coming back on their own every year. I’m already so busy and that cuts out so much extra physical and mental labor for me!"

Jovie Hawthorn Browne

I created RootCraft for those who refuse to choose between science & nature

I believe plant wisdom should be the ultimate tool for empowerment, not another source of shame or exclusion.​

 

So many of us carry the heavy weight of disconnection—a missing piece of ancestral wisdom that modern life fails to replace.

 

My mission is to help you re-forge that resilient connection on your own terms.

 

Because I didn't have access to ancestors who could teach me these ways, I sought out the most grounded education available:

 

I leveraged a Bachelor’s degree in Biology and a Post-Graduate Diploma in Herbalism. These credentials became the framework for the fiercely balanced and responsible approach I now teach.

I've condensed 15 years of learning and unlearning into my trainings, sharing only the viable, ethical knowledge you need. 

Since 2020, over 1,200 students have walked down the path of balancing science and nature with me.

Your path doesn't have to look like a picture of perfection in order to be deeply meaningful, impactful, and valid.

What Students Are Saying:

"Absolutely what I was looking for...

I have spent years looking for a herbal teacher that walked that line between science and old knowledge. Who didn't dismiss life-saving medicine bc of evil big pharma while understanding the importance of medicinal plants. Finally found it :)"

Your Investment in Life-long Agency:

Your price today: $47
Many have told me I'm wildly undercharging for the amount of information in this program. I don't care. $47 keeps it within reach of the people who actually need it, and that matters more.


Others think this program should be free. I understand the reasoning completely, so I've wrestled with this too.


The reality is that creating, sharing, and maintaining accessible information is not free. If I charged nothing, you wouldn’t be seeing this right now. The honest answer is that free doesn't keep the farm existing. $47 does, and that means this work keeps existing too.

 

 

 



Lifetime Immediate Access: Start Day 1 as soon as you enroll.

This might not be the right path for you...

I want to be respectful of your time and your journey. My fiercely balanced approach isn’t for everyone. We’ll be a great match only if you value integrity over aesthetics.

🛑 This is NOT for you if:

-You are looking for "secret" or overnight cures. We don't do "cleanses" or health-fad miracles here. This is about building sustainable, lifelong skills.


-You want to bypass modern science. If you believe herbalism should completely replace medical doctors or ignore biological facts, this isn't the right fit. We work with science, not against it.


-You prefer "all-or-nothing" thinking. If you’re looking for a guru to tell you that "all chemicals are bad" or that there is only one "pure" way to heal, you’ll find my balanced approach lacking.


-You just want a list of recipes. While we do make remedies, I’m here to teach you the why and the how so you don't have to rely on a recipe book forever.

✅ This IS for you if:

-You value nuance. You understand that the world isn’t black and white, and you want an education that respects both ancestral wisdom and laboratory data.

-You want practical plant skills that fit into real life, not an idealized homestead aesthetic


-You believe modern medicine and herbalism can coexist


-You're tired of wellness content that makes everything complicated and expensive


-You want to understand plants, not just follow recipes


-You're a complete beginner or an experienced gardener looking to go deeper

It's Time to Cultivate a Skill That Lasts.

This growing season will come and go regardless.
You can spend it the way you have been—feeling a little overwhelmed by the news, a little frustrated by your healthcare options, and a little unsure of which wellness trend to trust.


Or you could be the person who:
-Knows multiple ways to work with one plant.
-Understands the "why" behind the plants in your garden.
-Has their first handmade skin salve on the nightstand.
-Feels a genuine sense of peace knowing they have a plan.

 

So many of us have lost our ancestral connections to this wisdom, but that story ends now. You can be the one to reclaim this knowledge, re-establish these connections, and become the start of a new, resilient line of plant wisdom that you can pass down to future generations.

 

Resistance Gardening is waiting for you.

Only $47. One time. No Subscription.
