Detailed Description:

Biblical references give us a key to tracing the fascinating existence and use of herbs throughout time. Though impossible to recount all herbal history in a single volume as in this audiobook presentation, recounting historical significance points out that the relevancy of herbs in everyday life still remains true today. Shown through hand-picked plant selections and insights shared, Herbs of the Bible is based upon self-directed herbal study that began in 1980, faithfully presented since 2000. 

 

The running time of the audio portion of this online self-paced home study course is over 1 hour, divided into 6 topical segments, including:

Introduction to Herbs through the Bible and Ages, Veracity of Plant Identification, and Herbal Use since Time Began

Lingering Questions Answered About the First Garden - the Garden of Eden... and was That Really an Apple Eve gave Adam?

About your instructor: Becky Cortino

I have long held a true fascination for herbs, and am a lifetime member of the Herb Society of America, and member Garden Writers Association. A Master Gardener Volunteer graduate ('98), I am honored to be a contributor to the recently-published Herb Society of America's Essential Guide to Growing and Cooking with Herbs, a special project benefiting the National Herb Garden. My herbal enthusiasm was the seed that sprouted my family's Herbal Treasures dream in 1998. I have a heart to share my herbal passions with a message of encouragement as a writer, featured public speaker and instructor on herbs, gardening and more!

One of my most favorite garden-based experiences is visiting the world-renowned The Royal Horticulture Society's Chelsea Flower Show in London... FABulous doesn't even begin to describe it -- it IS absolutely THE Ultimate Garden Party!
