🌿 The herbal resources I’d start with


Hi there,

I’ve been interested in useful plants and home remedies for years.

Living in the North gave our family plenty of chances to learn from the plants growing around us. I’ve foraged for chamomile, Labrador tea, fireweed, chickweed, and more.

I’ve also made herbal salves and shared many of those projects with you through my blog posts and newsletters over the years.

That’s why I’ve been looking closely at the new Herbalism Collective Bundle.

It includes more than 50 herbal courses, workshops, ebooks, and guides from herbalists, authors, schools, and natural-living brands.

The collection costs $67 through Tuesday, July 28.

After that, the price increases to $79.

But I don’t think the best way to judge a large bundle is by asking whether you’ll use every item.

You probably won’t.

Instead, ask whether two or three of the resources could help you learn skills you already care about.

Here are some of the ones I think will interest you most.

Herbal Oils 101

Learn how to make infused oils, salves, balms, and simple herbal skincare preparations. This course normally costs $99 by itself.

Building Your Herbal Apothecary

Learn how to store and organize herbs, teas, tinctures, and other supplies without turning a kitchen cupboard into a jumbled mess.

Outdoor Adventure Herbal First Aid Kit Guide

Make a portable, family-friendly herbal first aid kit using six accessible herbs and 17 practical preparations.

Rosemary Gladstar’s Everyday Herbal Wisdom Series

This collection includes five beginner-friendly herbal workshops on everyday health, winter wellness, emotional well-being, children’s health, and getting started with herbalism.

Homemade Herbal Skincare

Learn how to make salves, creams, body butters, lotion bars, lip balm, and infused oils with homegrown or foraged plants.

There are also resources on tea blending, natural soapmaking, culinary herbs, fungi, gardening, women’s wellness, perimenopause, hormones, herbal business, and plant energetics.

Altogether, the collection has a stated value of more than $2,887.

The current price is $67.

You’ll also have one year to download the resources, so you don’t have to rush through everything during the ten-day sale.

The bundle is available through July 30, but the price increases after July 28.

Take a look through the full list and see whether the resources match the skills you want to build next.

P.S. The bundle also includes two physical gifts while supplies last: an Urban Moonshine Digestive Bitters Spray and Herbal Academy’s Botanical Mixed Drinks Recipe Book. You’ll need to pay shipping for each gift.

Hey friend, There’s a big difference between giving kids chores and teaching them how to take responsibility for useful work. Feeding animals. Helping in the garden. Learning how to use tools safely. Cooking. Cleaning up. Figuring out what to do when something doesn’t go according to plan. Those everyday jobs can teach kids an awful lot. That’s why I wanted to let you know about a new free online training happening this Wednesday, August 12. It’s called Raising Successful Kids on the...

An Off Grid Life Thursday reads August can feel like a blur, especially as I get older. Each year just flies by. I can't believe that our youngest is now a teenager. She was born shortly after I moved up to our Northwest Territories off grid home, where we lived full-time for many years. What about you? I bet you’re balancing harvest, planning next year’s beds, and grabbing family moments before the kids head back to school, or to homeschool. If you have it, now's the time to discover new...
