Partners in Education ~ One Seed at a Time
Herb Schools embrace UpS
We are offering a special student membership of $20 per student for all herbal schools, apprentice programs, and training courses that enroll their students as a group. There are two ways to sign your students up:
a. The simplest way is to add $20 to the program tuition fee, then automatically enroll each of your students as members of UpS.
b. Or, at one of your early classes, offer the students the opportunity to join Ups for the $20 student member fee. We’ll provide membership brochures. You or one of the students can collect the fees and send the information in.
In either situation, each student will receive a UpS Membership package with all the benefits ~ informative newsletter, Plant Resource Directory, free plant give away twice a year, membership discount at UpS conferences and workshops, and the opportunity to help make a difference.
We do require that all students who enroll in One Seed at a Time send in their fees together. Send in (a) name of each student; (b) permanent address and (c) name of the school or program that is enrolling them. Send all names and checks in one envelope to UpS/Partners in Education, P.O. Box 400, East Barre, Vermont, 05649. If you have any questions about the program, please contact Betzy Bancroft at 802-476-6467 or email her at plants@unitedplantsavers.org.

· A UpS Education Guide with curriculum outlines for a one or two day program on plant conservation that can be easily adjusted to fit your herbal program
