Frequently asked questions

Do I need a backyard to grow herbs?

No. Many courses focus on windowsills and balconies. We teach container sizing, drainage, and light assessment for small spaces.

What materials should I prepare before starting?

We recommend basic potting mix, a few containers with drainage holes, a watering can, and labels. Each course provides a checklist.

Are there live sessions and replays?

Live and cohort courses include weekly office hours. Replays and notes are provided for all live sessions.

Can I get personalized feedback?

Yes. In cohorts, you’ll post short updates and photos-free observations; mentors respond with practical next steps.

Do you offer refunds?

We offer a 7-day satisfaction window for self-paced courses and pro-rated options for cohorts before the second live session. See Terms for details.

How much time should I budget each week?

Most learners spend 2–3 hours between short lessons and light practice. Course pages list expected hours.

Is this medical advice?

No. Our courses focus on growing and culinary use. We do not provide medical or health advice. Always consult a qualified professional for health decisions.

Do you support different climates?

Yes. We teach principles for sun, temperature, and watering so you can adapt to your local conditions. Assignments include simple observation logs.
