Teaches at Santa Monica College

Jeanne Day taught classes on herbs for Santa Monica Community College Education for 13 years ending in 1994. These included "Herbal Affaire," "Sweet Potpourri," as well as Herbal Crafts and Decorations. Within the last year, due to the popularity of the use of herbs, Day has been asked by word of mouth to provide a presentation to several women's organizations and gardening organizations on the use of herbs, their nutritional value, guidelines for growing an herb garden and creating gourmet herbal gifts and decorations. Day was a feature writer for the Saturday Evening Post, and she is also a retired professor.

  • Nutritional Value of Popular Herbs

    Anonymous review on 7/17/2016
    The instructor was very knowledgeable because she has years of experience using herbs for nutrition and medicine. However, that expertise was not shared clearly or in an engaging manner. It was old school lecture format where the instructor read from a notebook and the handouts. The handout provided consisted of information that could have been gleaned from a good internet search and seemed thrown together as the formatting was not consistent throughout the document. In addition, the visual presentation consisted of the Word document pages, exact pages as the handouts, shown onscreen with pdf copies of herb drawings taken from a botanical reference book. She fielded all questions asked but many times seemed to misunderstand the questions as responses were met with clarification of the questions or puzzled looks from the asker. Ways to improve this class would be: 1. Have samples of the various herbs so people could touch, smell them 2. Have a PowerPoint or Prezi that has a photo of the herb with accompanying info 3. Add less common but locally available herbs to the repertoire 4. Provide a reference list of books or other resources to help people learn more about the topic 4. Talk from the heart instead of reading the pages line for line. Students can read it at home. We come for your wisdom and first hand experience using herbs. I would not recommend this class because all the information presented could easily be found on the internet. Save your money.
