WELCOME TO
Word & Plant
Step through the garden gates to slow down, explore your creativity, and reconnect with nature. Through hands-on workshops and nature-based experiences, Word & Plant invites you into moments of beauty, calm, and connection.
Upcoming Workshops & Events
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 to hands-on gardening and home remedy-making.
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 clarity, take action toward growth and healing, and make space for transformation by letting go of what no longer serves.
These days, I’m focused on teaching workshops, creating small-batch botanical products and functional art to bring to markets and festivals, and growing beautiful things here at The Garden Haven & Farm in Pittsboro, NC. Get in touch and let’s grow something beautiful, together!

Around here, flowers aren’t just pretty—they’re edible, medicinal, dye-rich, and packed with personality. I grow with purpose, and even the most whimsical bouquet comes with deeper meaning tucked quietly inside.
