The Science & Art of Herbs

Herbal Class Now Offered at the Herbal College

Welcome to the wonderful study of herbs. You are about to embark on a marvelous journey into a course designed to give you the most thorough, practical, hands-on learning experience possible with herbs. Though it does require a time commitment on your behalf, if used as intended, these lessons will provide a comprehensive understanding of herbalism and provide you with the skills necessary to be an herbalist.

There are 10 lessons, each provides an excellent solid foundation of herbal knowledge. The lessons combine earth awareness, scientific observation and research with practical folklore techniques and teachings to form a well rounded study of the science and art of herbalism.

Each lesson contains PROJECTS & ASSIGNMENTS and a Quiz. The lessons are designed to provide practical, hands-on experience. Each lesson gives directions and recipes on making herbal preparations, a list of herbs to research, and projects such as making an herbal first aide kit, designing an herb garden, or making your own herbarium and plant press. You are encouraged to complete as many of these projects as you can.

There is HOMEWORK. Once you have completed your homework and uploaded into the classroom, I am able to make comment on and work with you individually. One of the specialties of these lessons is the personal attention available for your questions and homework. I enjoy correcting your homework and responding to your questions. I also appreciate learning from you and invite your comments, favorite herbal recipes and suggestions.

The TIME COMPLETION of this course: you may complete these lessons on your own time schedule, but in order to utilize them to their fullest, I highly recommend you set up a scheduled time to do each lesson; one evening a week or an afternoon on the week-ends will keep your momentum going. The average time to complete this course is about one year. However, I've had students complete it as quickly as six months and as long as two years!

HERBAL SUPPLIES: when you sign up for this course, you'll be provided with a Table of Contents for the entire course and a list of supplies needed for each lesson. Except for the actual herbs, many of these items are readily available in a well supplied kitchen and/or local market or health food store. You will also receive recommended suppliers from whom to order your herbs and recommended books in this course.

Upon satisfactory completion of all lessons and all homework, you will receive a Herbal Certificate. This can either be downloaded or mailed (if you provide a SASE). I hope to be able to share my love and knowledge of the plant world with you, and embark on this marvelous journey together.

PLEASE NOTE: you will be required to take and complete the Basic Anatomy course prior to the completion of this course.
