Sarah had us choose 20 herbs that we wanted to learn about in this apprenticeship, and to identify 1 as our herbal ally. The following list are the 20 herbs that I have chosen. We were asked to give their common name along with their latin names so that we could better learn down the road, as some people refer to an herb in one way or the other.

This is going to be such fun! We have chosen 12 of the same herbs, so that will be fun to work together with. It will be equally as fun to read about each others experiences with the ones we don't have chosen in common! what an interesting and active year we will have!!!!!! xxxx
ReplyDeleteHello TMR, Great blog. Looking forward very much to this Herbal voyage of discovery. Together we will all learn so much. Your list is fascinating. Think it may be a good idea to copy & paste everyone else's 20 herbs too to keep on file for reference !! :) Lovely to meet you.
