For Apprentices:
Get in touch if you want to spend time helping me on my herbal allotments.
To learn about herbal medicine there are university routes (www.nimh.org.uk can help find a course) or two non university courses which are mainly online but with clinic time and face to face contact. Great routes to great herbalism profession which are totally worth pursuing.
