Herbs & Owls is now enrolling students in The Budding Herbalist Program, taught by Gina Kearney, Clinical Herbalist and Flower Essence Practitioner. The program is designed to teach participants how to confidently select and use herbs for themselves and with family and friends.

Students will connect deeply with plants through a course that includes an introduction to Herbal Medicine and its principals, the art of blending and making tea, herbal plant profiles, herbs for the different systems of the body, nourishing tonics, kitchen remedies, and much more.

The classes will be held 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Wednesdays beginning in October. The program consists of 8, 3-hour classes for a total of 24 hours of instruction. Certificates of Completion are awarded once all course hours and assignments are completed. Bonuses include access to online pre-recorded classes, and one-month access to Herbs & Owls Community. The program qualifies for 7 CE credits from the Florida Board of Nursing for Florida RN, LPN, CA and ARNPs.

The course will also be offered on Saturdays starting in January and again on Wednesdays starting in April. For more information or to register, visit HerbsandOwls.com/budding-herbalist-program. Herbs & Owls is located at 725 N. Hwy. A1A, D-103 in Jupiter.
