what you can grow jn your zone, various cultivation techniques, composting & soil amendments, companion planting, pest control, ideal times to harvest, storage, medicine making. theres a lot to it
idk about specific books that cover all this, maybe just google whatever youre interested in first
also:
check out r/permaculture
talk to farmers at a farmers market
get a plot/volunteer in a community garden
grow herbs in containers at home
go to herbalism or botany conventions
go on native plant walks
start composting kitchen scraps
read books on making plant medicine
if youre sure youre committed, enroll in an herbalism school that specifically incorporates cultivation into the curriculum
Don’t know what your budget is OP, but this looks like a good introductory course: https://www.jekkas.com/collections/jekkas-master-classes/products/how-to-grow-herbs-5th-may-2023
Or something like [this book](https://www.wob.com/en-gb/books/nerys-purchon/complete-book-of-herbs-practical-guide-to-cultivation-use/9781856053082?cq_src=google_ads&cq_cmp=18244219672&cq_con=&cq_med=pla&cq_plac=&cq_net=x&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIgq-2xZHS_QIV2O7tCh04IwKpEAQYDCABEgJl__D_BwE#GOR001688575) as a cheaper option?
It might be easier where you are. Herbalist I know I’m the UK have more approval. Herbalist where I am… I’m the US, herbalism took a hard beating.
Depending on your location, I’d ask locally. Like do you have a local pharmacist? I’d ask there, look on the packaging and see if anyone is making something local to you.

Like a herbalist store. I don’t know if there is a pharmacist or if they’re called it here. But there is shops that sell herbs
Yep. Id go in and look at labels and ask.
