Basic

I want to learn and start herbalism, what is the best way for me to start?

Keep a journal with information about herbs.Their usages(magical and medical),if their poisonous,which part of the plant is used,etc,etc.But,most importantly,grow a plant!
Buy some seeds at the supermarket or wherever and grow your very own herb.Basil or Mint is a good starter plan.

I had my start with rosemary. I haven't used much herbalism, and do not consider myself very educated on it, but I do what I do with all natural things I use in my craft. I sense what it could be used for. Asking others and reading up on it helps too.

Great idea!

Be careful planting herbs, some take up a lot of space.Plant mint in an enclosed area,otherwise it will take over the whole garden.Bay will grow into a very large tree.Sage into a very large bush. But most herbs will grow quite well in pots.

Oh I know about mint lol it took up one section of my garden this year!
