I love the way you present the course and how you put a bit of pressure to finish courses, to study online is really difficult to keep on going without anyone holding you accountable. Thank you for an amazing course!

Despite some biased and limiting opinions in some of the earlier lessons, and despite the inappropriate religious references in some of the first lessons, there are indeed useful information to be found, and some good reference material given from where to continue further study.

Without a doubt, this free course was SO worth it! I already learned a lot. It kick-started this herbal journey for me, I became inspired, started using what I learned, made notes, started a Herb journal, started my own materia medica, and am so very excited to move on to the next course, so I can share my new found knowledge with those I am meant to serve!!! A must-do course, especially if you love all things herbs but not sure where to start or what direction to follow with herbology.

This is a wonderful opportunity for someone wanting to start a path in herbology. It is very insightful and teaches how to track your herbs and gather knowledge and to grow your own herbs. Thank you for the opportunity looking forward to doing more courses.

This is a great overview of the Herb Academy approach to herbalism and their available courses. Think of it as a sampler to whet your appetite, but not one that holds back or is stingy in giving out information.
I for one was pleasantly surprised to see God and Biblical faith brought into it, as my experience with herbalism has involved a fair bit of filtering out pagan ritualistic herbalist content.
Lynette Barkhuizen (verified owner) –

So far I have enjoyed the Budding Herbalist tremendously. It is well laid out and it offers a strong foundation for the beginner herbalist to build on. I already implemented some of the ideas for my own health and have benefitted from that. Healing my tonsillitis. Suddenly I find myself interested in herbal plants everywhere I go and I am super excited to start my own herb garden.
