Description
Getting started with herbs can be fun, inspiring, and even a little overwhelming! We’ve created this Herbal Starter Kit so you can focus on the fun and inspiration of creating your own herbal preparations at home. We’ve done the planning and sourcing for you.

The Herbal Starter Kit has everything you need to take your studies to the next level—into the kitchen!
The herbs in this kit have been carefully selected to accompany the Herbal Academy’s online herbal programs—we chose 14 herbs that we frequently discuss in our popular Introductory Herbal Course and Intermediate Herbal Courses and included plant mini-monographs detailing the plants’ characteristics, actions, and uses.

These easy-to-prepare recipes will give you the confidence to get started with herbs and keep learning and growing as an herbalist.
