BotanoLogos has introduced herbalism to thousands of people in the Southeast since 1993.

The school’s curriculum, which includes the Foundations of Herbalism and weekend seminars at beginning and intermediate levels, day-long classes, plant walks and hands-on workshops, offers you a unique approach to herbal studies.

In addition to practical, well-organized classes we also encourage you to use your senses to experience herbs so that you gain the confidence needed to use herbs safely and effectively for your own health and to make herbalism available to others in your community. 

         Registration is now open for the 2019 Foundations of Herbalism Program. We are also offering an ongoing Mentorship Program starting in November 2018.
