Learn about herbs for STRESS and SLEEP; herbs for BEAUTY (how to make lip balms, creams, lotions); herbs for COMMON AILMENTS (make your own salves, tinctures, etc); and herbs for GREEN CLEANING.

After I launched my herb lecture series, I’ve had numerous people from around the country and overseas asking for an online herbal workshop.

So… here it is!

ONLINE HERB WORKSHOP – Taking enrolments now (spaces limited – book now)

You’ll learn about:

• Herbs for stress and sleep (which herbs work and which don’t
• Herbs for beauty (make your own face and body creams, lip balms, deodorants, perfumes, etc)
• Herbs for common ailments (make salves, tinctures, oils, tonics, etc)
• Herbs for cleaning (make your own natural cleaners for around the home)
• Cooking with herbs – how many vitamins, minerals and antioxidants are lost through cooking (plus making herb mixes, and preserving your herbs)*
• How to grow and propagate your own herbs

The details

This is a 6-week online herb workshop. But here’s the thing. You can do it at your own pace at any time – you don’t have to complete it within the 6 weeks.

You’ll be sent one module each week in PDF form (see full module outlines below), and you can look at it any time that suits you. Don’t worry. There’s no exam. It’s just a whole lot of darn fine information on everything herbal.

We will also schedule zoom calls for those who want to ask questions or have a yarn with other herb enthusiasts.

BONUS

Access to me: I’ll be on hand to answer any of your questions (you’ll have complete access to me throughout the course), plus at the end of the course there will be a Q&A session – or you might just prefer to share information and recipes, or just hang out with like-minded people on our Facebook page. It’ll be fun.

What are people saying about the course?

Hi Jane!

I had to drop a line and tell you how much I love this magazine!  It’s the most beautiful and inspiring read I’ve had for a while! The content is very high standard and the recipes!…can’t wait to try those magnificent cakes!

Thanks as well for the first module of the Herb Course – I’m just going through it again and revising now – so well written and referenced – what a great way to start learning – fabulous value!

– Poppy

Hi Jane

I just want to say how much I LOVE the first Module of your herbal course.  You have so much info in it that is so interesting.  It is so informative and has inspired me to want to do more with herbs. Thanks so much for producing a course with such brilliant and informative content!!

– Mel

I thoroughly enjoyed Module 4 and can see I will this one too. Thank you so much for making these available online.

– Bev

Module 6 is brilliant! Very informative and helpful – and the table of 25 Herbs to Propagate is just what I’ve been looking for. I’ve started planning a herb collection so this is so useful in terms of choosing what I’ll be planting. I also never thought of planting cumin or cardamom, but I will now, as I use those spices all the time! Keep up the great work, Jane – and thanks again!

– P

I am absolutely LOVING this course!!  I am behind in reading my modules but I have them printed and when I get 5 mins I sit quietly, reading + absorbing and making notes. This course has a wealth of information in it and is extremely interesting and valuable. The only constructive feedback I’d give you is that your price is WAY too cheap for this course. Every paragraph has a huge amount of valuable information and I feel you could (should) charge a lot more for all this knowledge that you’re sharing!!!

It has really ignited my passion for herbs again. Thanks for such a wonderful course and for sharing all your valuable knowledge!!

– Mel

This is really great!  The first Module had so much excellent information. I’ve just browsed through the second Module and now feel quite at home!  Thank you for another fact-filled Module; I will enjoy reading and studying it more closely, and trying out something herby and new!

– Aileen

I’m really enjoying the modules. They’re really interesting and easy to read.
