WELCOME TO
Word & Plant
At Word & Plant, we connect people and plants through hands-on workshops, purpose-driven products, and experiences that inspire creativity, wellness, and a deeper connection to the natural world.
Hi, I’m Dr. Deena Class—founder of Word & Plant: Flower whisperer and botanical alchemist extraordinaire!🌿
With over 25 years of experience as an herbalist, gardener, and educator, I’ve taught everything from natural dyeing and herbal skincare crafting to hands-on gardening and home remedy-making. Around here, plants are more than just pretty—they’re purposeful, powerful, and full of possibility.
The name Word & Plant is rooted in ancient wisdom:
“First the word, then the plant, lastly the knife.”
That means we start with understanding and intention, take action with the help of healing plants, and make space for transformation by letting go of what no longer serves.
Whether I’m blending a skin-loving herbal oil, growing vibrant dye plants, or creating a bouquet you can eat, sip, or dye with, my work is grounded in sustainability, beauty, and joy.
You’ll find me at local markets, community events, and soon—right here at the Garden Haven & Farm in Pittsboro, NC—inviting folks to get their hands dirty and their hearts rooted. No green thumb required. Let’s grow something beautiful, inside and out.
