Latino Herbalism Course Itinerary
Hidden Garden creates authentic, culturally-appropriate learning experiences. This includes a constant scheduling flexibility to include new opportunities, weather changes or what we call “Caribbean Time”. The teachers of this course range from the country’s top authors, to local villagers who have never taught in a classroom setting. While this may seem informal, participation is mandatory for all activities (unless marked otherwise) and determines the rewarding of certificates at the end of the course. Please begin your studies right now in our new online library – enter the search term TLH to see the course list. Please familiarize yourself with TRAMIL, as there will be an official presentation of their work included, on Sunday, with Rafael Ocampo.
