Herbal Home Study Course has Arrived!

The Science and Art of Herbalism 
Look what's here! I am soo excited to begin Rosemary Gladstar's home study course, The Science and Art of Herbalism.  It's up to me what time frame I finish this in, but my goal is to complete the 12 course packets within one year. I also just found out my enthusiasm is contagious and my mom will be joining me on this adventure! We're going to meet at our family's lake house every 3 weeks to experiment with making salves, tinctures and all the other herbal preparations waiting inside these pages.

This course includes materia medica, wild plant identification, tons of hands-on preparations and healing information on everything from pets and children to the nervous system. It will take us into kitchens, gardens, weedy lots, herb stores and apothecaries as well as the woodlands and fields to look for plant medicine. Enough writing, let the adventures begin!
