I believe it’s critical that we learn to take charge of our own health and become medically self-sufficient. There are many herbal education programs available. Many are quite expensive. Many focus too little on medicinal plants and too much on commercial formulas they’d like you to buy. Many are, frankly, not based on anatomical and physiological facts but depend instead on esoteric, metaphorical systems of diagnosis and treatment that have little to do with what’s actually going on in the body or the plant. Most of them have no hands-on learning or personal instruction with the teachers.
– What would it be like to be taught the principles of anatomy and physiology that would really help you understand how the body works in a clear and direct way?
– What would it be like to really understand what the plants are doing to the organs and systems of the body?
– What would it be like to be taught by someone that has actually used medicinal plants in his clinical practice all day, every day for many years?
– What if that teacher didn’t just treat head colds, acne, and low energy but actually used herbs to address serious wounds, rattlesnake bites, gangrene, systemic infections, liver disease, and all manner of other serious conditions?
– What if that teacher personally cultivated and processed over 175 different medicinal plants on his own property and could teach you to do the same?
– What if you could spend time with that teacher learning, hands-on, how to make tinctures, glycerites, salves lotions, and other herbal medicines?
– What if you could walk through the deserts and forests with that teacher and be taught how to identify and harvest medicinal and edible plants yourself?
– What if you could spend entire days with that teacher in deep-learning, masters’ seminars?
Here’s the good news…
You can find out exactly what all those things are like!
My name is Patrick Jones. I am a practicing veterinarian, traditional naturopath, and clinical herbalist. For years I’ve used the power of herbs to bless the lives of my veterinary patients and my human herb clients. Because of my veterinary credentials and license, I have had the unique opportunity to treat cases that most herbalists wouldn’t dream of addressing. I can give you the benefit of that experience.
Because of my passion for herbal education and, frankly, my dissatisfaction with what is available for would-be herbalists, I’ve decided to create a comprehensive herbal education experience.
My lovely wife, LoriAnn, is also a traditional naturopath, herbalist, and licensed midwife. Her input and co-authoring of modules is invaluable and brings yet another clinical skill set and educational background to the course.

The HomeGrown Approach - What Makes us Different?
Many of our Herbal Products are created with herbs that are grown right here! Of course there are many plants that are outside the scope of our ability to grow in Idaho, due to either climate or quantity requirements. So when we need to supplement our growing efforts, we purchase only the finest product from quality, growers that we trust! All of our Single Herb Tinctures are made right here at our own facility with a single plant.
Our plants are grown, weeded, harvested and processed by caring herbalists filled with healing intent, not by machines. HomeGrown plant harvesting is timed for maximum potency...not the day the combine is scheduled. - Only the most medicinal portions of the HomeGrown plants are utilized for medicine making. - No pesticides, herbicides or artificial fertilizers of any kind are used in our herb gardens. HomeGrown wildcrafted herbs are ethically collected and identified by experienced herbalists, not minimum-wage, apathetic employees.
Yeah, we might be crazy to go to all the trouble when we could import material from Bulgaria for a tenth of the price, but we have experienced the difference in the quality of the end product. We are confident that when you use our HomeGrown herbals, you WILL see what all the fuss was about!

I really like that theres no time limit, most online herb school only let you have access for like a year. But this one is forever!

The thought of going back to school overwhelmed my adrenals, but Doc Jones is a great teacher and comedian. I have been dealing with some medical issues but I now know what to do to help myself. Thanks Doc!!!!!! A million thank yous would not be enough!!!!!!!

I am a new student of HGH school. I am so excited with this school. There is so much information to be learned. It has such great tools for learning. I think the online video are the best, Dr. Jones is a great teacher. He makes it so easy to understand, with his stories and examples. I had listened to some his video that were not part of the school. They were so good that is my I enrolled in the school. I am really enjoying the school. I can not say enough about the school and their herbal products and company.
Dr. Patrick Jones –
Glad you’re enjoying it Phillip. I look forward to working with you. :0)

I’m loving what I’m learning because it’s more than herbal facts and what herbs do. It’s also the why’s and wherefores.
natalie.stamenov (verified owner) –
I have watched many of Dr. Jones videos on YouTube and couldn’t get enough of the learning! I already have a garden and wanted to be more intentional about what I add to the yard and garden to not only make it beautiful and have edible plants but to also be medicinal. Once I have these medicinal plants I need to know how to harvest, process them and then use them effectively! This school is helping to further my knowledge of herbs and natural remedies from my own yard. Dr. Jones has a wonderful gift of teaching. Whether watching the videos or reading…. his knack for adding humor and breaking all the information into digestible bits makes the learning so much nicer.

I finished this course in record time. I could not leave it alone. I still review it daily for information.

This school has been such a blessing. I have learned so much already. Several members of my family and extended family have sone chronic conditions that we have already seen improvement in based on information I learned in this school. There is a wealth of knowledge there and I recommend it to anyone who is thinking about enrolling. My only regret is I didn’t find you sooner. Doc presents information in an easy-to-understand fashion and tells you how/why things work so you get more than just a list to memorize. He is also very entertaining, so it is never boring! The knowledge I have gained already has had an enormous impact on my family.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my learning experience in the HomeGrown Herbalist School. Truly appreciate Doc Jones’ sense of humor and values. I have learned so much and hope to apply the valuable tools for the health of my family and farm animals.

I’m just starting my adventure with this school but already I’m impressed by the content. I’m grateful Dr. Jones has made this affordable compared to other herbal schools, and that we have access forever. Thanks!

The “educational” label is certainly spot on. I am learning in a very integrated way – videos, great graphics (especially in the anatomy/physiology), hands-on experience, and good reference materials. As a budding herbalist I am already working with my own family and close friends and seeing results. I am really looking forward to growing season and wildcrafting.
Rachel Fessenden (verified owner) –
The School of Botanical Medicine is EVERYTHING I could have asked for! As a homesteader and mom I have strived to help my family, farm and animals as natural as possible. However I always felt intimidated and overwhelmed with reading and trying to learn EVERY SINGLE plant that could help us! But then I found Doc Jones, and his methods of teaching herbs are fantastic and he explains everything so clearly. This school has been a game changer! I am learning so much! Doc Jones has a great personality and his classes are never dry and boring! If you are considering joining the school you won’t be disappointed!

I’ve just started, but am so excited about this course. Everything so far has been amazing! And a fraction of the cost of others.

Best herbal teacher you could ask for. Common sense, humor, and a well-rounded, information-packed course. Can’t say enough good things about Doc Jones, his company, and his products!

Found H.H. on YouTube and I am pleased to join the school. I love the forum option & Doc’s humor within the lessons helps me remember facts about the plants.
The A.I. tool is also neat for a quick answer but I found that it missed some of the info from the books/lessons and it’s still best to know the material yourself.
I can be confident from the material bc it is by someone who applied the medicine & isn’t just repeating facts (as many other herbalism or plant books) but is experienced, tried &, true.
Also love that the money goes to their lovely family and supports small medicinal farming on their land.

I’ve worked in the medical profession as a Radiation Therapist for over 20 years, and been involved in the Equestrian industry for over 30 years as a competitor, breeder, trainer and coach. Having seen similarities in the increasing number of health issues affecting both humans and horses over the years, and as someone who is passionate about helping horses and humans to be fit, sound, healthy and able to use their body the way it was designed to be used, I knew our modern medical and food systems were missing connecting some crucial dots. Science is great, and I love knowing how and why things work, but stepping back and looking at the whole picture of how and why everything is connected has helped me make sense of the health crisis I see playing out in myself and the world around me.
Doc Jones is amazing- he explains things in a simple to understand way, but he REALLY understands how and why things work- he is one of the few people who as an educator can bridge the gap between rote learning which plants do what, and truly understanding why they do that. I’ve been wanting to do this course for a number of years and I’m so glad I took that leap and actually joined.
If you have any inkling that you may like to learn more about plants and herbs, if only to improve your own life and that if your family and pets, then I can not recommend this course highly enough.
Plus Doc Jones has an awesome SOH… he makes learning this stuff FUN 🤩

I’m thrilled with my experience with the school so far. Doc & his team make some of the best videos on YouTube, and the course videos go into even more detail. I was pleasantly surprised to see the new case studies section, I’ve been scouring the internet for this kind of information with no luck until now. And it’s so reassuring to know that I can ask any questions I need to on the forum. I’ve taken other courses and this one is definitely the most comprehensive and fun to work through. Thanks Doc 😀

Enjoying my lessons and getting so much information from the start. He has a beautiful gift of explaining so you get it!
Thank you Dr Jones for wanting to share your knowledge with us!

We just recently moved and are adding in to our cabin and setting up our homestead so I don’t have time to study full time. This has been such an awesome course because I can go at my own pace and go back as many times as needed. Dr. Patrick does such a great job of explaining in depth while also adding humor. I can’t recommend this course enough.
