"You have no idea how grateful I am that you do
what you do. The classes you teach are the best that I have come across
- well organized, hands-on learning, complete in material needed to
learn the subject, and all this in such a short amount of time - that's
incredible. And on top of that, and I am sure I speak for everyone, I
enjoyed every step of it.
Before I took these classes, I was so
overwhelmed because I didn't know where to start, and also depressed,
because I was afraid that during this lifetime, I would never be able to
do the one thing that makes me feel complete - I don't feel like that
now. My person feels better. I am probably being a little too corny, but
the happiness this has brought to me is like finding the missing piece
of the puzzle. I even picked out a special kind of paper for my
journal." - Wendy, USA

"I was so
overwhelmed with the idea of using herbs as there seemed so much I did
not know. Yet in 8 short, scrumptious weeks that has all changed and I
now have the knowledge and the courage to keep on trying. Well done and
thank you from a grateful mom and an even more grateful family!!" -
Sibylle, South Africa

"This has been an inspiring journey of
expanding knowledge and sharpening skills when it comes to herbology. I
found it stimulating studying and knowing that there were others also
studying and I was not alone. Well done to a well-organized course all
round." - Karen, South Africa
"A wonderful course that I enjoyed very much.
It equipped me with the basics to further my study of herbs for the rest
of my life, for which I am very thankful. In particular, the structured
manner in which it is presented, is very helpful. Fantastic resources
and reading material supplied - enough there to keep me busy for a
while! I do not have any criticism and will wholeheartedly recommend
this course to others. Thank you. So, what's next? Please send
instructions how to enroll for the individual herb studies.... I can't
wait!!" - South Africa
Plant Journaling for Herbologists
The study of individual herbs is a core subject in
any herbology course. Contrary to contemporary courses on this subject
which follow a superficial theoretical approach, the Plant Journaling
for Herbologists course encourages a practical ‘hands on' approach
called 'plant journaling' to acquiring an in-depth working knowledge of
herbs.
It is intended for the serious hobbyist, would-be professional and
professional herbologist, who wants to use a tried and tested approach
to acquiring a working knowledge of individual herbs. Download the
Online Course Prospectus for more information.
"This has been a great journey for me - I
really loved the course and it was set out perfectly. If we had seen
what was involved in totality we would have been overwhelmed I reckon.
It was perfect to do one section at a time and focus on that. It was
great all over. Thank you so much." - Tanja, South Africa
"This course is a practical guideline to really
keep all my experiences of herbs in a specific and logic way and to be
able to add more information in the future. This course is also an
excellent reference to all new experiences that I will have in the
future with different herbs. Before doing this course I did ‘journal’
some of my experiences and especially recipes down, but not in an
orderly way, like I would be able to do now. I’ve also met people who
share my interest in herbs, so I have friends whom I can chat to if I
have any new questions about herbs. Their experiences, passions and
feedback help a lot and make a big difference in my experience of
herbs." - Hettie, South Africa
Plant Production
Start A Garden of Plenty?
Growing your own herbs, even if it is just 2
plants in pots, is the fun practical part of
herbology.
And herbologists all over agree that the
best herbs are those from your own garden.
This short home study course will
guide you step-by-step to get your own garden of
plenty going, or to redo
your existing garden.
A garden of plenty melds
the best features of edible landscapes, conventional organic herb and
vegetable gardens and wildlife gardens. In just four weeks (or just a
weekend if your garden is small) you will design and install your very
own garden of plenty. And in the process you will acquire a skill that
you can use to design any type of garden on just about any scale.

The Classic Guide to Nature's Best
Remedies
There is a saying among herbalists: ‘It is better to know a few herbs
well than a smattering of many’. Because of their multiple therapeutic
effects one herb can serve successfully in several applications. With a
mere handful of carefully selected herbs it is possible to satisfy a
wide variety of uses.
Remember...
Before you take any herb, read up about it and make sure you
correctly identify the herb. Although herbal medicines are generally
safe they do have contraindications. Never exceed the recommended
dosages.
