I feel really blessed to have you in our ‘green tribe’. You, your journey, and your dream destination are special to me.
Even in the best of worlds, reaching your final dream destination is going to be a bumpy journey. I don’t want money to be one of the many bumps you’ll have to navigate. Therefore, I will do my utmost best to help you fill, and avoid the money pothole. It’s my way of saying thank you for choosing herbology to make this world a better, healthier and greener place.

The Five Seed Rules
#1: To be eligible for the seeds associated with a masterclass or course you have to earn the associated certificate within the following time frames:
– Mini-masterclasses within two weeks from enrolling.
– Masterclasses within three weeks from enrolling.
– Courses within four weeks from enrolling.
#2: To earn the BONUS seeds you have to review a course within the allotted time.
#3: Seeds can not be redeemed on courses or bundles that are on Sale or in conjunction with a Coupon Code. Also, with the exception of The Budding Herbologist, when enrolling in any course on Sale, Course Bundle, or when using a coupon, you forfeit the associated Seeds. This is because courses on sale and coupons already have the learning credits built into them.
#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.
Alumni: The seed program only applies to courses you’ve enrolled in after 16 March 2020.
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.
Thank you so much for this amazing opportunity! The seed program is genius!! I look forward to learning many new skills❣️
I think the Seeds program will be an incentive for me to keep going and not drop my herbology studies for a little while to come back to it later. As a SAHM to a 3 year old and a 4 month old, I’m not time-rich but this is also really important to me, and having some time constraints in order to achieve something (beyond simple knowledge!) will be a motivator to keep myself on track!
Hi Di-Di
Firstly thank you for your seeds. Seed is supposed to multiply. You plant them with faith and watch them grow into a living plant with a purpose. Maybe you are sharing your seed because once upon a time someone shared some” hard worked for seed” with you. But first we need to prepare the soil to get the optimum growth from our seeds and the best “fruit” from our plant so in the end, we can share it again.
Firstly, I am super excited to have found your website. Secondly, Thank you for the free course.
I think the seed (credit) program is fabulous and I look forward to the whole experience.
It is always beneficial to reward those who show diligence and commitment. And it is an encouragement to students to keep up by making the course a priority. It also benefits the teacher to have the students all moving ahead in a timely manner.
The seeds program is an enticement to continue studying after completing the initial introductory course.
I think the seeds program makes sense. I don’t see a reason for you to waste your time offering your knowledge and resources to people that are serious about it.
HI there Di-Di
I agree that it makes sense to only achieve the seeds if the lower levels are completed. Learning follows a designated path determined by those that have already completed the journey, so why try and reinvent the wheel.
Everything journey starts with a plan – so follow the steps laid out.
Thanks
Ruth.
As a normal educational institution, those who have the time and effort are those who receive the most monetary value from said institution. I appreciate the seeds program offering a monetary value off the price of courses. This can help me to advance faster than I normally would, albeit if I have the time at that moment. I am glad to know now about the time frame allotted and the importance of it to what this site deems a successful completion. That will be taken into account in a heavier manner than was with this first course.
I believe you are making the seeds “scholarships” available to only those who are serious because it they are showing a real interest and effort. If they aren’t going to put forth any effort it is really in my opinion wasted on them when someone else would really put it to good use.
I think the seeds will act as another incentive for me to continue on.
I think that the ‘seeds’ program will weed out the people who aren’t fully committed to learning this knowledge! It will be a fun way to keep me motivated for this commitment to allow plants to heal me and my family!
I love the “seeds” idea. It is a nice motivation although I have a strong internal motivation too complete the course successfully and learn as much as I can. Enjoying the introduction and layout of the “virtual” campus so far. It is easy to navigate. I am SO excited to learn more and I am already searching my neighborhood to learn and recognize the plants that grow here.
I’ve also been interested in natural living so I’m super excited to learn more on this path. Plants are amazing and healing.
I think the scholarships are for those who work at the classes because that’s how it should be. That’s how other schools are too. There is no reason to take a class you are not going to try in. Learning is a blessing. I’m thankful you have these classes available. I’m a stay at home mom of 3 beautiful kiddos and my hubby, kids and I are low income. We do what we can with the blessings God has given us. With scholarships and lower cost classes I can help myself and family in living a healthier life along with helping others around me. Thank you again.
I have always been interested in herbs and their powers to help build a healthier body. I believe the earth provides everything we need to lead a healthy life. I lost this on my journey and I’m looking forward to getting the knowledge to help push me back on track.
I think it’s fair to only give the people who really want the incentive to actually work for it rather than give them out to everyone. For me personally it’s a good incentive because I tend to lag and take my time if there is no set deadline. I’m brand new to herbalism and currently am only able to make a salve for my eczema but I’m really looking forward to learning on this course. It looks very concise, thorough, and well thought out.
What a genius incentive program you’ve developed! It’s a perfect blend of rewards to motivate continual forward momentum, but also personal investment to value the learning one receives. I love that! My only concern at this point is how many irons I have in my fire and feeling trepidations about the time I can realistically commit to this right now, but I want it so badly! I am a student of all learning and when I want to learn something, I go after it…and sometimes load myself with too much at once. LOL I think the program you’ve developed is quite genius. Thank you for your passion to teach others what you already know is of such great value on so many levels.

I can see how the seeds will help me to stay on track, keep working consistently and in a timely manner so that I can build on what I learn before the information goes stale and forgotten, making me a better herbalist!
Wonderful philosophy with earning the seeds. This really promotes learning and assists those where finances may hinder progression.
In reply to question 1, I find that people do the basic, read here and there, plant a few herbs, and that makes them an ” expert” in herbs and what is needed to heal someone. I personally find this dangerous thinking. I am all for us all learning new things on a superficial level if alll we want is to get a broad outline of what is around us. However if we are seriously wanting to do better and this leads into question 2 then for me its not about games. I grow herbs. Lots of us do. Many of them do not do fantastically and even those that do I really have no idea how they can help me and others. As we are filled with more and more “junk” food we are ppoisining ourselves. To what end? There are also people who just do not know the benefits and the joy of herbs. Some dont deven want to find out how to successfully cultivate them, but are willing to obtain theirs from people who care, who really care. thats how I see this course. I love my plants, and want to move to a level where I may be able to get other to do so too.
My interest in taking this course is to obtain as much knowledge as possible about herbology and herbal therapeutics to augment my Reiki practice on animals with herbal remedies.
I think the seed program is lovely. It’s a great idea, and a great way to share information without money getting in the way of people learning.
It opens up doors rather than closing them.
I like the idea of Seeds. It will encourage me to keep at it and complete this course and others as well. After a life changing year in 2019, I have been interested in Herbology but haven’t found a course that ‘speaks’ to me. I believe, this is it and I thank you for it.
