How To Get More Seeds (Learning Credits)

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.

You earn learning credits simply by studying regularly, completing learning units, and leaving comments when asked to, and earning the certificates of the courses you’ve enrolled in.

In addition, you can earn more free learning credits (Seeds) by completing the courses you’ve enrolled in.

Visit your My Achievements dashboard to view your progress.

The Five Seed Rules

#1: You have to complete The Budding Herbologist to be eligible for the seed program.

#2: You have to complete and review the course before you can redeem the seeds associated with the course.

#3: Seeds can not be used on courses that are on Sale or with a Sale Coupon Code. 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

  1. 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?
  2. 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.

    1. I think that when you are really serious to learn something about a subject, this SEED initiative provides a structured manner to do it.

    2. I have been in using natural ways to stay healthy for quite some time in an intuitive manner. In order to be more effective and be able to help others also, I think a more structured approach will definitely help me to achieve this.

    I think that limiting the seed program to those who are serious about learning herbology will help keep them motivated to continue their journey.

    I want to learn to help keep my fiance and myself healthy naturally, and eventually sell herbal products as a side business to help others. The seeds will help me gain access to courses I may not be able to enroll in otherwise. At least not at the moment.

    As a newbie to herbs, I am focusing on returning to the more natural way of holistic living and believe that our bodies weren’t created to use chemical filled products. So for me it is a change of life I’d like to achieve and in the process, add in a small way to the protection of the
    environment

    The SEED initiative would help me serve my family and self by keeping me engaged in step-by-step herb learning rather than helter-skelter gathering of information. Thank you.

    I believe giving people like me the opportunity to learn free at a point in time is simly because you are a believer in Sowing and reaping. You said ealier that a marathoner will wan to see the rest of the world a runner.In your case you are unlocking healthy living in us hence your passion for people to study for nothing.
    The credit i get in this corse will motivate me to read better and advocate for a greener environment.

    I am extremely excited about this course. It is such a privilege to have found these classes and I am looking forward to learn about herbs in a more structured way than I have before. This is a great stepping stone on my herbal path and thank you for making it accessible to most.
    The seeds are a fantastic way to keep engagement, achievement and motivation going as well as to encourage students to coming back. Let see where this will lead me..

    I appreciate the “seeds” reward programme. After purchasing the first course from Herb Academy more than a year ago, I found myself doing everything else and not getting to the course work. I work with some fairly obscure herbs in my daily life, and I have been focused on learning about the less known African Muthi plants. I love the approach of all these courses and learning to create a monograph for my personal Materia Medica has been a blessing and a joy. Thank you so much for creating these study programmes. They are very well laid out and an absolute delight to use.

    I have battled with a combination of health ailments for many years. Continuously prescribed high doses of antibiotics and other heavy medications which have only left my immune system shattered. Having quite recently switched over to using primarily herbs and tinctures 3 months ago, nature has begun repairing my body in ways that I never thought possible. It requires consistency though. Genesis 1:29 : And God said, “See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food. I am looking very forward to completing these courses to expand and deepen my knowledge on herbology .

    My goal in becoming an herbalist is 1. to get off all prescription meds. and 2. Find natural and healthy alternatives to help my body so that my quality of life is the best I can get it. 3. To be an example of what God had put on this earth to help us is so much better for us then prescription meds, that do more harm then good.

    Proverbs 13:4 The soul of the sluggard eat and crave nothing. While the soul of the diligent is richly supplied. You have a love for the lord. And your calling may be to teach. That is between you and him. As for me, by working hard my fruit comes in the shape of sustainability, taking care of my family and community through love and health. I am disabled and have been for a long time. What I learn here (And through another school I am studying through) will build. And eventually I will be able to take care of my family and community in more ways than one instead of them taking care of me. My passion has been to be in the healthcare field. But holistic medicine just makes more sense… That’s what made me pursue herbalism when I found it. Thank you for what you are doing. It has been so hard to be able to do what I want on the monetary budget I have. But even so god still provides. We want for nothing. God Bless!

    I am a kid from the early 90s. My mother, since I could remember, were into natural things. I grow up in the countryside were natural products were easily accessible. Now, I live in a big city and the world feels much more polluted and dirty. I want to go back to my roots. And also, I grow up watching ”Charmed” and ”Practical Magic”. I need little magic and nature in my life.

    I am a lover of Nature. I have been longing for this opportunity to learn about Herbs and Alternative Medicine for long because I have seen Drugs fail people again and again and they die because of lack of awareness of the solutions that Nature offers. This gives me much concern and I long to be a solution to mankind in this area. This is a great move for me.

      Serendipity led me right to all of you. Right here. I’m absolutely delighted!! Finding learning that isn’t totally focused on $$ is refreshing. However, there always must be a way to exchange value. I’m looking forward to doing just that.

    A serious person who wants to learn will do so whether it’s free or not, depending on the curriculum. The drive for their motivation is personal and with that they’re more than willing to help others out.

    The seeds will be another stepping stone in my quest for knowledge on healing myself, my family and friends, and anything out there.

    If somebody shows an interest it is a great way to reward them by giving them something back that they can use to further their knowledge. In turn, that person learns more and will ultimately encourage others to improve their knowledge as well.

    The seeds program will help me by making other courses more accessible within a rather tight budget. It will also encourage me to be more diligent with my learning if I don’t want to lose out on earning these seeds.

    I think everyone should have some knowledge of herbs. It is in our own interest. Conventional medicine are often expensive and so full of chemicals and have more side effects than what it actually cures. Having a basic working knowledge of herbs is a way to help ourselves without struggling with side effects.
