It is strongly recommended that Herbalist Training Program students take the online materia medica courses, which fully round out the educational experience and provide week-to-week continuity. An "in-person only" option exists for students who have already taken the Plant Medicine Series online, or for those who cannot attend online evening classes due to scheduling or financial reasons. In-person only tuition: $1825
