Take an Herb Class This Summer

Thinking of learning more about herbs? The following is a link I found to a farm called Wise Acres. They offer all sorts of classes about herbs, from identification to herbal medicine. If you have time this summer, these types of classes can be a lot of fun and you will learn a lot that can be applied to your life, and garden, back home!

Herbal Medicine Apprenticeships and Lectures

Would you like to learn more about herbs, but with a hands-on approach?  This spring consider learning through an apprenticeship or local lecture series.  While most of these differ in their approach and teacher personality, there is much that can be learned in a short amount of time.  Students can generally expect to learn how to identify a wide variety of local plants as well as what their medicinal uses are.  These classes or apprenticeships are also a way to let students find out whether a career in herbal medicine is the direction they want to take, and invest in.

You can find out where these classes are located through colleges, universities and many times through historical societies.

I located one such apprenticeship simply by using a search engine.  The website is called Herbal Bear, and they are currently accepting apprenticeship applications for their 2010 classes that begin in June.  The information can be found on this link, Herbal Bear Botanical Medicine Program.  This particular program is located in the Catskill Mountains of NY.

Growing Horseradish or Armoracia

If you're like most people, you enjoy the spicy-pungent taste of horseradish on foods, in moderation, of course!  Many gardeners shy away from this herb because they think it is hard to grow or harvest.  In actuality, it isn't much harder to grow or harvest than onions or garlic, and it makes an interesting addition to any herb garden.  You won't need to plant much of it as a little can provide enough horseradish for a family, plus a few of their friends each year.

To learn more about this herb and its medicinal uses, read our short article on Armoracia, also known as Horseradish, on HealingHerbs4You.com.
