About Me 

I have been studying herbs for over 20 years and have been teaching for a little longer than that. My teaching experience has been in private settings ranging from corporate classes to homeschool co-op classes. I love to teach and watch as someone has an “ah ha” moment. Now that my children are grown, I’m able to teach my favorite subject, herbalism.

Directions

If coming from James Island down Maybank, continue until you get to Hays St and turn right (right across from KJ Mart), continue through the park to the tennis area on the far end.  It is easier to get to this park and to where we meet from Brownswood.  From Brownswood turn onto Rewes Ln and continue on until you come to the tennis area.

Where to Meet

At the tennis court area.
