Herbalism for Beginners (self-study + resources)

A little while ago I began my journey of studying herbalism, and it was intimidating to begin. I wanted to share some resources and encouragement for those just beginning their studies or those overwhelmed by all the options. There are plenty of resources and places to begin, these are merely just a few that I have found helpful!
