Isabell Shipard's extensive herb course, on DVD 2 DVD Set, Total Running Time 4:27. PAL, All Regions. 'Learn from one of Australia's most knowledgeable authorities on all-things-herbal.' In September 2006 Isabell Shipard held a herb course and a sprout course, on the Sunshine Coast. The courses were so popular that two more courses had to be run to accommodate the number of people wishing to attend the courses. The second courses were video taped and edited into DVDs. Isabell covers many topics such as: * Wonderful World of Herbs * Herbs Have Many Uses * Herbs as Medicines * Good Health * Toxins * Plant Foods we Eat * Botanic Names * 29 Plant Families * Additional Plants * Weeds to Know * Poisonous Plants * Useful Herbs for your Garden * Flavours and Colours * More Oxygen to the Cells * Methods for Using Herbs * Plants as Sweeteners * Income Opportunities * Seed Saving * Survival Foods To get the most out of Isabell Shipard's herb courses on DVD, it is recommended to also have Isabell's herb book "How can I use HERBS in my daily life?" as the course gives a visual learning experience, but cannot in a few hours give all the information that is valuable about the herbs. "Isabell has always been the source of plants and advice for many of us, her admirers. We can be proud of her encyclopaedic work on plants, which includes a vast reference background, as well as practical advice."
