John and Kimberly Gallagher started LearningHerbs.com in 2005 to show people how simple it was to treat yourself naturally with herbs and good food. They created the Herbal Medicine Making Kit as well as Wildcraft! An Herbal Adventure Game. Now, they are proud to introduce HerbMentor to the world.

HerbMentor is NOT about John and Kimberly mentoring you. HerbMentor about a community of herbal learners of all experience levels joining together to help each other deepen relationships with the plants and our health. Consider John and Kimberly your hosts.

Where many herbal courses eventually come to an end, HerbMentor keeps you growing with ongoing inspiration and education. 

We are not an herbal certification or professional training program. Our mission is to provide ongoing herbal experiences, so you can forge better relationships with and deeper knowledge of the herbs and nature. We hope to help people re-connect with their own inner nature, voice and wisdom.
