Welcome to the World of Urban Herbology!
Welcome!
I am so pleased that you have decided to delve deeper into the wild world around you and within you. I have developed the Urban Herbology Apprenticeship to benefit you, wherever your live. You just need access to some local wild plants and the internet and that is just about anywhere! Read on, to find out how to get started...
Tell Me About You
My first Herbology students applied for their place by writing a letter. I wanted to know about their herbal and foraging experience, reasons for joining the course and their needs. Knowing these things about you will help to fine tune this course and will help you to focus better on the material.
Please take a few minutes to share some information about you in this Beehive forum thread. After some months, looking back at this information can highlight just how far you have come.
Communicate
This apprenticeship course is in English, with some units available in Dutch. It aims to be accessible to people who speak English as a second language. Please let me know if anything is unclear to you. Use the forums, ask for information and advice whenever you need it. Make the most of the UH Apprenticeship!
Course Organisation
Modules
There are currently five Urban Herbology modules, made up of over 80 units of study. Some units are longer than others. All will help to deepen your knowledge and experience. You have instant access to the first units (and all of the Wheel of the Year units). More units open up to you each month.
Forums
These are the online social areas to help you to get more from the course content so please make good use of them.
Dive in, start asking and replying to comments!
Workshops and Walks
Keep an eye on the News page of this website for upcoming dates.
You can book places on the walks and workshops by clicking on the links. Please note that you are not automatically signed up on the walks and workshops - I need to know when you want to come. There is a Beehive forum thread where you can tell me when you have special wishes for the workshops.
Let's Get Started!
The website navigation should be simple. Let me know if you see any problems. Dive into the modules, forums, news and use the support page if you have any issues.
