Dear Folks,

Thank you for expressing interest in an On-Line Class conducted by me, Catherine, The Herb
Lady. After many, many (in fact too many to remember) folks who said the various classes and
lectures I present at the DBG and the Boyce Thompson Arboretum, are of great interest, but just
do not fit in their schedules, I thought with the current technology it seemed appropriate to
consider an on-line course where students can pace themselves according to their schedule and
where I would be accessible via email at all times. The course will be a non-credit one,
designed to give you as much information as possible within the parameters of the internet.
Materials will include printed material and I expect to prepare PDF slide shows to illustrate
major points (the slide shows will provide a substitution for being in a real-time classroom).
All of these will be downloadable by the student, and therefore can be referred to any time
needed.

Here is the basic idea I will be putting together.

1) A 12-week program, based on my "Good Looks, Good Scents, Good Eats" three-part series
recently conducted at the Desert Botanical Garden.**

2) The first start date is expected to be September 1st. The program will be open for 14 weeks
(meaning you will be able to access all information for a total of 14 weeks, two weeks past the
end of the program).

3) The class will be conducted through a private Yahoo Group service, where you indicate your
desire to take the class, pay your fee, and I add you to the 'student email list' which is private
and used only for the purposes of assisting you while you take the class.

4) Lessons will be posted each week, a quiz will be provided periodically for you to check your
knowledge and I will answer questions either individually or to the group via the YG page.

5) The slide show files will be kept managable by the minimal computer user. PDF files
including the slide show need only the free Adobe Reader to view, print and refer to.

5) I expect the fee to be about $165 for the entire 12 week program, and this includes all the
materials you will have access, and download capabilities, to.

Now, Questions Anyone?

Make sure to put "On-Line Class" in the subject line so I can catch them properly.

At this point if you feel you are not interested in the class, you can unsubscribe to this

Have a wonderful day,

** This class is a very complete, detailed program taking a desert valley resident from dirt to
table growing and using edibles. The On-Line program takes a three part class (1-How to
garden successful in the desert; 2-Edible herbs; 3-Cooking with Herbs) and breaks it into 12
segments.
