Village Herbalist Volume 3:
Planting the Cure

A new series about medicinal herb gardening with Heather Nic an Fhleisdeir


Herbalist Heather Nic an Fhleisdeir returns to HerbMentor.com for an intermediate level follow-up course to The Village Herbalist. The Village Herbalist Volume Three is a 10 part audio course that offers an overview of the concepts which empower us to plant our own cure.

This is gardening for the Herbalist; the over-busy, curious and results oriented Herbalist. These focused, in depth discussions are drawn directly from Heather's celebrated herb school; The Academy Of Scottish Herbalism in Eugene, Oregon. Whether new or experienced in herbs, you'll learn quite a bit from our Village Herbalist.

This one minute video shows our garden as we followed Heather's instructions in this course...

Here is our "Planting the Cure" garden in its second year...
