++ LEARN ABOUT HERBS ONLINE ++ We are pleased to say we were the first online school for herbs, starting back in 1998. I have written a 6 month course on Medicinal Herbs. Because I have had experience with Accreditation Commissions, we have built all of the appropriate material, homework assignments, and handouts into our courses. Courses offered are: Medicinal Herbs (6 months)- extremely popular Herbs and Pets (2 months, usually summer) Plant Biology Anatomy Medicinal Gardens (In the late winter to spring)- very popular and more are being compiled at this time. Each course ends in a certificate and tons of useful information. The tuition is usually under $500. Material arrives online in your mailbox the assigned number of days a week. Homework is sent back to me. Tuition can be paid in a one time sum (with a discount), or monthly. I am very flexible to work with. ~~~~~~~BIOGRAPHY~~~~~~~ MARY L. CONLEY N.D. M.S.
