One of my favorite herbalists of late always says "you are smart enough to do this, I don't care who you are." I want to extend those words to everyone that reads this post. To be a herbalist, you don't need to go to some fancy school and spend lots of money. Did the first herbalists do that? Nope, they lived a life in and with nature and learned that way, not through a college. Absolutely incredible challenge, it may be getting my juices flowing.
