We've gotten the class list pulled together and put up on the website for this coming fall. There are a lot of different types of classes, but they all promise to be fun and full of information.
Each class will be held on a Saturday afternoon from 1 - 3 in the classroom around back at The Essential Herbal.
Pre-registration through the website is required. If we don't have enough participation for a class on the Thursday prior to the class, we will cancel it. Charges are not processed until the day of the class.
Enough of the business details! Check out this list. Between Maryanne, Molly and me, we've got a lot to share with you and it promises to be interesting and lively. Come join us, and if you know someone who might also enjoy the classes - please share this post with them.
