Herbal Educator is a Center for Herbal Instruction. Its mission is to teach children and entire families how to live simply and naturally for optimal health.
Herbal Educator is dedicated to Beverly Ruth Manwaring Pepperdine (Nonnie), a grandmother who believed that knowledge should be shared between generations. Important knowledge about our bodies, the food we consume (nutrition), and how we feel (our health and life energy) are critical topics that should be mastered and taught to children everywhere. Children will then be more prepared to make better choices and, as they grow up, to establish homes equipped with the necessary resources to maintain health.
