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!

Growing Ginger in the Home Garden

Growing ginger is fun. I was surprised to learn that I could grow ginger in Zone 7B, central Virginia. I attended a lecture by Ann Codrington of Nisani Farms several years ago.

Companion Planting with Herbs: Your Secret Weapon for a Healthier, Happier Garden
