If you want to learn how to use herbs medicinally and not only medicinally but also grow them,

I can think of little else that gets me excited as knowing I can literally grow our medicine right outside our back door, then you, my friend, are going to want to make

sure that you are registered and signed up for our herbal summer series. This is completely free, though you definitely could charge for it because it is

packed with information. Once you sign up starting in August, every week you are going to get an email from me going over my top 10 favorite herbs.

Each week we are going to pick one of those herbs and do a deep dive on how to grow that herb,
