Discover Medicinal Herbs

Each year Gardens of Delight offers a hands-on program on medicinal herbs. This very ancient method of using plants and plant oils for bringing relief, comfort and healing to the body, mind, and spirit is very comprehensive. We study each system of the body, and those particular herbs and essential oils which will bring balance back to that system.

Aromatherapy

This may be the right and perfect time to explore a year of treating the body, mind and spirit with healing essential oils. You'll receive monthly hands-on training in the art of using essential oils to discover: The Science behind the oils, the therapeutic use of essential oils, and blending. Students will learn the anatomy and physiology of the human body and the health requirements for each system. You will learn the oils appropriate for each stage of life, how to formulate a specific protocol for each client you are working with.
