Biographical Note: -- Steven Horne, RH(AHG) "I am hard pressed to say what Mary Colvin does not cover in this fabulous guide for those embarking on the path of herbalism. Her depth of experience and wisdom shine through on every page whether it be growing, harvesting, medicine making, safety issues and even sage advice on how to navigate online resources. Her writing feels as if she is in the room with you as her years of experience lend a deep sense of comfort as you begin or further your work with plants. She reveals her true skill as an educator and herbalist as she begins at the beginning where most books fail to mention - Herbalism and Botany. Honoring the relationships, we need to cultivate with the plant world, Mary tenderly addresses vital ecological issues of today empowering the reader to engage as a participant in the preservation of this ancient tradition. And of course, I love her brilliant teachings on energetics, the foundational language of herbalism." -- Kat Maier, RH (AHG), author of Energetic Herbalism: A Guide to Sacred Plant Traditions and Winner of Gold Medal Nautilus Book Award for Ecological/Healing Arts "The Herbalist's Guide is a fantastic resource for fledgeling home herbalists and students looking for an affordable and approachable yet thorough resource to learn herbalism and incorporate it into their daily lives. Consider this book a foundational herbal study program in book form. The exercises speckled throughout are a gem to gain *experience* with the herbal medicine while learning the plants, body, and building a home apothecary." -- Maria Noel Groves, RH(AHG), Clinical Herbalist at Wintergreen Botanicals and Author of Body into Balance The Herbalist's Guide is an authentic journey of a teacher mentoring the budding herbalist with detailed tools of consideration on developing their plant relationship, growth and cultivation.
