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!

October Gardening: Tasks and Tips

October is the time of year for pumpkins, squash, scrunching through piles of fall leaves, and enjoying the last of the lovely weather before winter sets in. Here in Virginia, October can go either way — sometimes it stays warm, and sometimes the first frosts move in and finish off the summer vegetables. At this…

How to Grow Bok Choy

I learned how to grow bok choy through trial and error. Last fall, I noticed some beautiful heads of Chinese cabbage (napa cabbage) at our local farmer’s market. When I asked the proprietor where it was grown, I found it was grown not five miles from my house! Well, that means I could grow all…

September Gardening: Tasks & Tips

Fall is the time for mums, for pumpkins, and another round of pansies — for soft golden twilights and leaves crunching underfoot. September is the last month here in zones 6 and 7 when the garden is still lush and full. We’re harvesting the last of the tomatoes here at Seven Oaks, my farm near…

Assassin Bugs – Scary Looking, But Beneficial Insects

We meet the strangest neighbors while walking the dog. This assassin bug was strolling across the pavement on a hot summer’s evening when we walked our dog. At first, I thought it was a wolf spider, but the leg arrangement, plus the narrower body, made me decide to snap a picture and use Google Lens…
