Animals will be provided for you to practice on. It is more beneficial to work with animals that you don't know so that you can have a fresh perspective, and then verify your findings. Herbs have been used for thousands of years to keep animals healthy and treat their injuries and illnesses. When given the opportunity animals will instinctively seek out and consume certain herbs and plants when they feel ill. Learn what common plants are toxic to animals.
Some herbs have nutritional properties and others medicinal properties and some have both.
A tour of the gardens will give you knowledge of nutritional and medicinal delights that you can grow. You will learn the right time to harvest, how to prepare herbs for use, and make an extract or tincture to take home. Participants will help gather herbs for lunch. Quiet well mannered dogs may attend. There will be a sampler of workshops designed to help reduce stress, and to restore balance and harmony for both you and your dog.
