It is suggested that you take the Intro to Herbs before you take any of the other workshops if you are new to Herbs. The Intro to Herbs is a two hour introductory session and costs $20.00.
The workshop fee is $75.00 per workshop, with the exception of the Intro to Herbs and Medicine Making*.
If you would like to pay for all twelve Workshops in advance the workshop fee is $70.00 per workshop. The workshops must be completed within two years for this offer.
* There is a $10 extra fee for the Medicine Making Workshop due to smaller class size because of space constraints, and a supplies fee.
The Home Herbalists Certificate is replacing the Home Herbalist Program. The new format allows you to choose the workshops that most appeal to you and to do them at your own pace.
Please note: These workshops are interest courses only are not professional training courses.
Amanda Howe’s classes/workshops on herbal medicine are very informative, interactive and fun. She has a wealth of knowledge to share and does so in a friendly, open teaching style. It’s great being able to see the plants in their growing environment and have hands on experience with them as well. My knowledge of herbs has expanded tremendously and she has inspired me to venture out on my own. I look forward to growing and harvesting herbs and making my own medicines.
