ABOUT US
Herb Club LA was founded by Andrea Jimenez in 2022 with the hope of empowering people by looking to nature as a guide. Rooted in ethnobotany, Traditional Native American knowledge, Traditional Ecological Knowledge, and Bioregional Herbalism, our mission is to re-establish reciprocity with the land and all its inhabitants.
But Herb Club LA is more than a project—it’s a weaving of ancestral knowledge, lived experience, and deep love for the land and people we serve.
We are devoted to reclaiming ancestral ways of knowing and advocating for Kincentric Ecological Justice—a worldview that sees land, plants, animals, and humans as relatives, not resources.
Over the past three years, we’ve welcomed over 2,000 people into our offerings, each gathering a reminder of our interconnectedness with nature and the importance of caring for, cultivating, and advocating for native plants. Through community education and embodied plant relationships, we’re nurturing a more sustainable, reciprocal, and grounded future.
Andrea Jimenez is a community-focused herbalist, naturalist, and visual storyteller dedicated to ecological awareness, holistic wellbeing, and reconnecting people with nature. As the founder of Herb Club LA, she has engaged over 2,000 participants in workshops and events emphasizing herbal medicine, wellness, and land stewardship. Growing up as a first-generation immigrant of Native American descent, Andrea is deeply committed to honoring Indigenous traditions and promoting natural ways of living. Her personal journey of healing through nature has reinforced her belief that caring for our inner world directly influences our outer world. Andrea sees the interconnectedness of land health, community health, and individual wellness at the core of her work, believing that connecting with plant kin and learning directly from nature empowers us to better care for ourselves and our planet.
