When you enroll, you’ll receive a list of foraging and medicine making supplies. The only two supplies you absolutely need are a hand lens and at least one good field guide for your region (the more the better when it comes to plant identification!). We’ll send you guidelines to help you choose the right ones.
The rest of the supplies list includes items you may already own or can improvise with what you have on hand, such as assorted mason jars, an electronic scale, stainless steel funnels and labels, pruners, shovels, garden gloves, and so on. How much you spend on ingredients and materials will differ, depending on how prolific you are with the recipes and what tools and ingredients you already own. We estimate you might spend anywhere from $100 to $300 depending on these factors. As our student, you’ll receive several discounts to various herbal suppliers.
