Foundations of Herbalism | Level I (Starting April 25th) - Deposit
Description
The Boston School of Herbal Studies is delighted to offer their level I apprenticeship students the opportunity to study herbs at Sweet Autumn Farm (180 Prospect St. Carlisle, MA), a pristine organic herb farm that allows people to "pick their own herbs." This rare experience brings a deeper knowledge and understanding of the plants, plant identification and harvesting practices that are necessary for every herbalist. We feel fortunate that our students are able to follow the growth of the plants through their many forms, which provides a well rounded and complete education.
