From little things, big things grow…

All big ventures begin with a dream, but need a team to bring it to life! The Elder Tree is creating Australia’s only herbal medicine school, created by herb folk, for herb folk, and bringing together teachers and healers from around Australia and internationally, to create a new way of teaching and a new realm of learning. We are currently setting up our headquarters at the Mullum Seed Eco-Hub in Mullumbimby, Northern NSW. Stay tuned as we release more information about this exciting development and get in touch if you would like to get involved.

More about us

The Elder Tree is a national grassroots not-for profit organisation. Our goal is to empower people through grassroots herbal education, and accessible holistic health care. We create environments where healing and learning go hand -in hand.

We are building and networking the Australian herbal medicine community. We bring together practitioners, teachers, students, medicine growers, medicine makers, community herbalists, folk herbalists and home herbalists to work together and support one another. We play our part in building a more coherent grassroots symbiotic community of people around Australia making a real difference with herbal medicine.
