Free eBook on Herbal Safety

July 10, 2025 by Jeanne

The Herbal Academy is offering a free ebook on herbal safety! I just sent an email out to our Home Garden Joy community and downloaded my copy and WOW – not only is it chock-full of information, it’s beautiful to look at, too. And free. Did I mention free?

Learn More About Using Herbs – Safely

If you’ve ever stood in front of your cabinet wondering if it’s actually safe to give your kid that herbal tea… or if you’ve hesitated before taking something yourself because you weren’t 100% sure—same. I think we’ve all been there. 

That nervous feeling is real. And honestly, it’s what keeps a lot of people from going deeper with herbs.

So when I saw this free downloadable guide from the Herbal Academy, I knew I had to share. It’s called, 5 Herbal Safety Mistakes (and How to Overcome Them). This free ebook is super helpful and perfect for you if you care deeply about doing things the right way but just need a little more clarity and confidence.

You’ll learn:

  • Recommended herbs for beginner foragers and gardeners
  • Important tips about dosage (this one surprised me!)
  • How to start using herbs in a way that actually feels grounded and informed
  • And more!

If you’re just starting to work with herbs (or if you’ve been dabbling and want to feel more solid) this is such a great resource!

Anyway, I just wanted to share because I wish I’d had something like this earlier on. It would’ve saved me a lot of late-night Googling and second-guessing. Let me know how you like it!

American Burnweed, the Weed That Signals Fall Is Here

I was walking my dog along the wood’s edge right near where we cleared land to build our greenhouse when I did a double take. There, like Jack’s magical beanstalk, had grown overnight this gem: American burnweed. Also known as fireweed or American burn weed, it grows rapidly – and I mean, rapidly. Like I…

What Can You Make with Summer Squash?

It’s that time of year when everyon asks, “What can I make with summer squash?”. The time when neighbors sneak bags of summer squash onto porches. When farmer’s markets are brimming with yellow and green squash, zucchini, and all manner of Cucurbitaceae, the plant family that gives, and gives, until it can’t give anymore. If…

Growing Marshmallow Plant

Growing marshmallow plant has been on my gardening to-do list for quite some time. I’ve read about it in herbal books and grown its cousins in the Malvaceae family from seed. The dark purple mallow plant I have thrives in my little garden by the shed, so I thought, “Why not grow marshmallow there?” I…
