all about petty

petty herbalist is an organization that centers education of plants, food & beverage, and herbal medicine with an emphasis on fun, accessibility to everyday people, and shared knowledge. 

It all started as an instagram account… created to share the journey of, the original Petty Herbalist and founder, Karina DesRoses and her discovery of the world as a brand new, self-proclaimed, and self-studied herbalist.

instagram is still the best way to stay posted on all updates for petty herbalist!

The Petty Herbalist Podcast was co-created with her best friend, and well-known herbalist, Asia Dorsey in September 2021. 

“Two Black herbalists and Bougie Aunties help you discern the real sh*t from the bullsh*t in food and herbs. Come share in the belovedness of Karina Desroses and Asia Dorsey as they explore food science and medicine making at the intersection of ancestral reverence, ecology and cultures of healing justice.” 

The pod is produced by ME, so if you’d like to support the podcast, join the patreon and be a petty betty!

Currently, petty herbalist is teaching courses, partnering with other herbalists on retreats, and has on-going projects within the LA specialty coffee community. In the near future, Petty Herbalist is looking to get into Beverage Development and Sales.
