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.
