The Five Seed Rules
#1: Seeds can not be used on courses that are on Sale.
#2: When enrolling in any course on Sale, or in any Course Bundle, you forfeit the associated Seeds. This is because courses on sale already have the learning credits built into them.
#3: The Budding Herbologist is the only exception to #2.
#4: You can enrol and complete modules and courses in any order, but you can only unlock levels and their associated Seeds once you’ve completed the lower levels.
#5: Seeds (Learning Credits) is a virtual Herb Academy ‘currency‘ and are therefore not transferable and not refundable.
Pause and Reflect
- What do you think? Why am I only making these “scholarships” available to those who have shown that they are serious about learning more about herbology?
- How will the Seeds program (learning credits) help you on your own journey to take better care of yourself, your family, and those you choose the serve? Don’t just think of the monetary savings. And don’t be shy. Scroll down and Leave a Reply (comment). I’d love to hear your views.
For a person such as myself on disability, the seeds and scholarships are a huge help for me. I thank you for the opportunity to extend my knowledge.
First and foremost, I thank God Almighty that I found you!! Its great to be here, and I think the Seed concept is amazing and a great motivator to serious and committed people like me. Am so passionate about herbs and want to learn more on how to use them for health, cooking etc. Would like to be a blessing to family and friends by using the knowledge that I will acquire here. Thanks
There is no reason to offer scholarships to those who are not serious. For instance other schools only offer scholarships to those who excel in some way. I am VERY excited about the scholarships. Not only will they ease my financial burden as I struggle to pay for the courses, but also provide motivation
to do well and stay committed to the program.
There is no reason to offer scholarships to people who aren’t serious about becoming a herbologist. Though sometimes life does get in the way. For those who come back to learn then yes, they are serious. Making this available to those who want it and truly need it is a good thing. The seed concept is gracious because not everyone finds a way to help people continue their education without using actually money. The monetary value is there but you have to be serious in your studies and you will see it.
1. The credits are a reward for commitment
2. They help to put you in motion on your journey of understanding how the body and herbs work synergistically
Thank you for giving back so I can use this to help others.
I am super excited to learn as much as I can from this and use it in conjunction with with my psychology training. So stoked
I think the seeds are both motivating and generous! The topics are so interesting in the current time with the pandemic and health on everyone’s mind. Thank you!
My love for nature and healthy living is pushing to become more educated in this field. I am actively involved in growing my own food an looking for alternatives to modern medicine as I believe that very little care for the patient is put into this medicine. I believe God has given us everything we need for health and life in plants and He is our great physician when it comes to looking after our Spirit, Soul and bodies. My goal is to be able to help others to live a healthier and more vibrant lifestyle by being equipped with the necessary wisdom and information to be effective in this field.
I think the seeds are a great way to motivate students. I am very exited to start with the course
I have tried other programs and I am truly excited about this program.
I know you have created the seed program to help people stay encourage while taking this journey. I will definitely use the seed program to push through and learn whatever I can about herbalism so I can be self reliant and tend to my family as much as possible without an outside force.
Thank you this opportunity,
T
Thank you for this opportunity and I do like the seed concept. Motives people to complete the full course.
This sounds like a wonderful way to motivate learners. I love this idea, gets me excited to learn faster and could possibly mean that I can learn more and get further. More knowledge is just a bonus.
I think the seeds are really helpful and motivating! Thanks! It’s also nice to get a reward for work done.
I like the seeds. It gives motivation and a little I did this pride.
Thank you for your assistance with the seeds. It will greatly help
Thank you for making this class available to all that want to take this journey to better health. The seeds will really help with future growth
Seeds are something that need to be earned. It’s like getting a good GPA and SAT scores in High School so you can get scholarships for college. You need to see that we are serious about things before we are able to get rewards.
I think everyone wants to know that there is something worth while after hard work..I think your seed credits is a lovely motivator..thank you…
Its important to encourage those people who are truly interested and engaging those of us who may feel like we might not be able to do it is a good way to keep us involved. I appreciate the extra incentive.
The Seed program will help me not to give up on this journey of healthy and clean living. It will motivate me to learn more about taking care of myself and loved ones in and will also encourage me to learn more about more herbs and achieve my dreams of fully living a healthy life style and to positively influence those around me.
I think giving the scholarship to those who have shown that they are serious about learning more about herbology is a way of motivating to commit to finishing what they started and to motivate them to want to learn more.
Giving the scholarships to those who show more commitment in herbology is in a way a very sound investment rather than people who will just gain the knowledge to waste it, empowering those who are dedicated will go a lot further in promoting a green world and aid also to nature conservation as whilst they harvest and use the herbs they will do so in a more sustainable way.
Thank you for such a wonderful program, the seeds rewards is a very good motivation to work as hard as one can to ensure you get the rewards as you gain more knowledge at the same time.
The concept of seeds instead of money makes it more nature based and assists all participants to more nature conscious when using or spending the seeds.
First off, the seed programme is inspirational and motivational. I love to get rewarded in one way or another. This is a very good way of rewarding while learning
So I am just getting into natural remedies and am very interested and am thankful and grateful that you have this seeds program to keep me enjoying and focused and continue to move forward learning rather than have a spiked interest then not follow through….
I have been a herbalist for about 10 years now, but am using this as a refresher and like the style in which your study programme is presented. Thank you
I think the opportunity to earn these credits will encourage me even more to complete and continue to learn. I am being called to more naturopathic healing and I was asking to be given a sign and this was put into my lap so I look forward to where this will take me.
It is motivating to see how one progresses on the program. Also, being a member of the green family is a great honor for me as herbalism is not just a study but a way of life, “culture “. I’m happy to be a part of this tribe and to grow the seeds for a healthier lifestyle
I am so grateful that you have introduced the seed concept. It has really inspired me to work through the various courses and is such a great motivator. Thank you.
Salute to you for doing your part in untangling humans from money. The free and online accessibility as well as the empowering knowledge to grow our own instead of buying is an important step in our evolution. Great idea. Thank you for seeing it through in such a caring way.
Thank you. The seed concept helps track our efforts. Helps to keep us aware of our progress.
Awesome motivation concept – I am excited and motivated
I think the seeds are a great way to help stay motivated. I am looking forward to added more tools to my toolbox 🙂
I am also new in herbs but I believe that the seed concept is also a great motivator.
You and me both, sister. I’ve read books on herbalism but this is the first actual course I’m taking.
I love the seed concept!
Ultimately, whether we’ve spent little or spent thousands, we will only get from these programs what we put in. Little effort= Little Reward.
The seed concept provides a unique opportunity to expand our herbal knowledge when we are unable to afford expensive courses (and I’ve already spent a few hundred and am about 500 hrs in to my herbal education), knowing that the hard work and effort we put forth will be rewarded with, personally one of MY favorite things, more learning!
I am so, so grateful to have found this and am eager to demonstrate my commitment and passion for my education and future herbalism practice!
I imagine with many people coming through this school, you would appreciate spending your time assisting those who are serious about advancing their knowledge. I appreciate the opportunity! I hope to get my Family Herbalist Certification and the seed program will be of great help to do so! Thank you!
I’m very excited to be starting my journey into herbalism. As someone who has struggled with anxiety and depression for the greater part of my life, I am really looking forward to seeing what mother nature can do for me.
I am very excited to become apart of this green family and the blessed opportunities it brings. I have long been very interested in Herbology and hope to one day be able to not only heal and empower my family, but humanity at large. thank you for this opportunity to getting me started on this journey, looking forward to all I can learn…
I can honestly say the Lord has led me to this path. Spoke to my sister about herbs and planting, which I have never done before. She led me to these classes and I’m loving the beginning already. I’m looking forward to learning and growing with you. Thank you for this opportunity.
This is so motivating , with knowing that good health is the new wealth.i am looking forward to learning and more than anything in the transformation i will be getting. When i heared you mentioneing the word God, it make me so emotional and i knew without a doubt I am in the right program and chose the right website.
the reason you making this scholarship is to receive certificates as part of the learning journey.
getting the seeds for me its a motivation and it will make me look forward in receiving more and that will be part of my achievements . In regards with my family it will help them to see the need of them joining as this can be beneficiary to us as the whole family.
Thank you for your generosity. Some of us love learning but the reality of our economic situation can be prohibitive. My family and I are city folks looking to move into the country side, so we are reading about all things homesteading and herbs are a huge part of that for me. I came across your website while looking up how to plant and grow herbs 🙂
This is a fantastic way to encourage people to keep on studying. Thanks for that.
I feel like this is what I was called to be. I’ve been unemployed and struggling to find my purpose. I just stumbled upon this on a Google Search and decided to follow the link. I’m very happy that I did. This is fantastic. I can’t wait to learn…
I have taken some herb classes online. Some of them were free, some I have been able to purchase when they came on sale. Thanks for this wonderful gift in difficult times with the lockdown. We can use the time very productively by finishing our courses.
Thank you very much for making your courses affordable.
Thank you for making these classes affordable, and earning seeds just motivates me.
I have been interested in learning about herbs for a long time. But financially I was not able to enroll. The moment I saw the free courses advertised for the lock down, I was so excited and immediately selected a few free courses. With the explanation about the seed earnings, I might be able to afford some of the bigger courses. Thank you DiDi
Scholarships and seed program are a wonderful encouragement and motivation to me to persue my long desire to study herbology and help better care for myself and my large family in a healthier way. I have dabbled for years with herbs and differening preparations but I can’t wait to gain a better understanding of them. Thank you for offering this course for free. I squealed with delight when I saw it was free. God Bless ❤
Thanks for the explanations. It helps a lot.
I have taken some herb classes online. Some of them were free, some I have been able to purchase when they came on sale. The first part of this module hit me profoundly because I do believe we reap what we sow and everything you mentioned in that part of the module. This is a wonderful gift that you are sowing by sharing your knowledge to those that want to learn, and providing a way for those of us that can’t always afford full price. Thank you so very much for that, I am truly grateful, and it is no coincidence that I was led to your website.
The seeds program is a wonderful concept to structure the scholarship to knowledge. I enrolled in this course in the act of self-love. I look forward to the growth in quality of life and personal well being. I am grateful for this opportunity.
:]
Great motivational tool.
Thank you, you have a big heart, to make the program for everyone available! Now it’s up to each individual to commit, and take ownership.
I’m new to this. The concept of earning seeds is a good one. It will serve as a motivation and achievement. In order to step into/onto the next level.
Life is a journey, and the road to the future is permanently under construction. I’ve made the choice to take this path, as part of my journey.
To give to serious students, is a way to acknowledge their commitment to the course.
I have found a love for herbs and herbal healing through my mom.And having experienced first hand the benefits of a natural approach to the management of a variety of illnesses, motivated me to become more proficient in herbology
Awards are given to people who make an effort to do the best work that they can.
Scholarships are awarded to those who are willing to put the work in. It’s a great way to keep people motivated and invested in their learning.
Thank you Di Di for all that you do! I’ve been dabbling in herbs and herbology for the last year. A very big move and life keeps re-focusing my time on other things and I love that I can keep coming here and re-energize my passion for herbs and learning. I am fully committed to completing my learning and love the seeds program.
Not everyone’s is motivated. I Know me myself struggle when it gets to persisting. But in my opinion it’s like setting a goal I can’t afford the classes but this gives a opertunity to earn it if you willing to work and give your part.
I like the idea of earning seeds. It definitely keeps you more motivated, and helps the pocketbook a tad too!
Finances and time has been pausing me to study further …I decided that when my children are all graduates I ‘ ll finish my degree …meanwhile I ‘ll do what I can to get to my dream
Hi Di-Di , Thank you for this opportunity.Lack of Finances limits us often, but then you have an opportunity like this come along, and then i jump. I’m grateful for all your input and motivational seeds to help us stay committed. Kind regards
Hi Didi,
cant wait to start so glad I found your website
So excited to get cracking on the nitty gritty of this course <3
I’m new to Herb Academy, getting use to this format, and the concept of seeds.
Thank you for the seed (scholarship) concept. I look forward to learn more. Thank you 😀
I love the concept and courses you have come up with and I look forward to learning herbology and becoming an herbologist to help my family and myself to become healthier
Thank you for inspiring us with the seed program. We all can use extra motivation in whatever we do and what a fun way to do it. I understand that the goal as we learn more about herbs and the use of them is to share our knowledge. Thank you for your efforts in doing that with us.
Love this idea of earning seeds. Thank you .
Hi Didi
I was “offline” for 3 months and was pleasantly surprised to see this new seeding concept. Well done! I love it. You even had me finish a free course today!
It’s a great step by step plan.
I think earning seeds keeps you motivated to keep on moving even if it is at a slow pace.
I think the seed credits are also a nice way of measuring yourself, your own progress. Kinda makes me feel like a kid collecting Easter Eggs again! It makes it fun! (Not that this is not ALREADY fun!). It will also inspire us to take part in conversations and excercises, as there is the promise of scholarships (or discounts?).
(It also helps us to think outside the box a bit… Maybe, some day, seeds will become the new currency?…)
Making the courses more accessible via scholarships (seeds) helps those of us with financial difficulties. It is very much appreciated.
I think the seeds is a great way to help people who are really serious about learnin complete their goal. Learning is a never ending process, there is always something new to learn.
I think the scholarships are awesome, they help in deciding what and when to do the next level even though you want to do all of them all at the same time lol.
It will give me a little headstart on the apprenticeship I’m going to start soon
Thank you!
The more you know, the more you grow.
I am truly grateful for these amazing scholarships; thank you, thank you, thank you!
2020 will be my year for becoming a professional family herbalist.. I have collected all the resources to help me with my studies..Thank u Didi for not losing hope in me.
I am lost for words i just wonder why are delayed all year to do this
Thank you so much, this will most definitely be very handy as I progress along this journey to realizing my dreams. Very excited to learn as much as possible.
Thank You this will come in handy in the near future. I was worried that I would have to stop after Nature’s Apothecary and not even be able to afford the Apprentice ships.
Would really love to study more.
Wow. I think this is such an amazing concept. Thanks you for making this possible for everyone! I’ll be checking back here once I have found my feet a bit more. Being a big picture person I’m just trying to figure out how it all fit together. Think I need to go draw a picture for myself.
