Loved every minute of it

I went with the audio book so I could listen and still get the recipes in pdf. I am glad I did. Hearing the enthusiasm & devotion to the craft was an added bonus. I have followed & read Rosalee de la Forêt for years. I am now a fan of Emily Han as well. My 17 year old son has been listening off & on. He has been inspired to check out the yard closer. I brought my kids up using herbs. Everyone needs a reminder, boost in enthusiasm & motivation occasionally. This book does that!

listen to it 💗

so much information laid out in a beautiful way

Love this audible bool, the hard copy is amazing!

Well done.

Generous of Spirit

As with all the wonderful offerings Rosalee de la Forêt and Emily Han have been creating with Herb Mentor and Learning Herbs, this audiobook presents a plenitude of knowledge with guidance for integrating practices and insights into the way we live. The accompanying pdf book chapters with links to supplements and resources provide the sensational plant illustrations, botanical diagrams, and photographs from the print book along with the recipes. Printing out the beautiful linked journal and following along with Rosalee's and Emily's voices makes using this audiobook a hands-on teaching/learning experience. As a student of herbalism for many years, I'm delighted to explore everything this fabulous audiobook has to offer.

Wonderfully full of information.

Although the information in this book is invaluable, and the way it is written is well done, the ‘reader’ is very hard to listen to. According to the listing for the Audible book, one of the writers is reading it at the moment, Apparently both authors do some reading. So far, I am unimpressed.

I’m not very far in and whoever is reading right now, reads as though she can’t wait for the book to be finished and is reading at a rushed pace. The necessary inflection changes to note the parts of the book that refer to “journaling”, etc..,are barely there. She rushes through the section titles, most without taking a breath...so one can hardly process that it IS the title of another section.

There is a lot of information to take in, and much to think about regarding the points raised in this book. In my opinion the book could benefit from, and desperately needs: a more thoughtful approach; a more pleasant, and easier to listen to voice; a slower pace to aid with processing; and appropriate pauses made to delineate the sections that are not part of the main body of the book. The Audible version is so far a very disappointing experience. Most authors should not read their own work, and in doing so should not do such a disservice to the valuable information contained within its pages. I may have to resort to buying the hard copy.

Well-Written and Read

Get into it! Learn to forage and what to do with what you gathered. These two writers have gone about really getting to know about plants and love what they are sharing — and it’s inspiring! Highly recommend!

The accompanying PDF is really great too!

Nursing parents.

I know with studying herbs I am gonna hear some crazy opinions, but when this book say "Nursing Parents" you lost me. If I could get my money back I would. It is "Nursing MOTHERS!!!" Not parents.
