When you honor nature, nature answers back. Healing begins the moment your heart opens to the ground beneath you 🤍🌍.

I spent a plant walk in central park with Dawn Petter, the herbalist behind & fellow alum •
i've been following Dawn's work for a while, so it was sweet to finally meet and spend time with the plants together. we saw a bunch of spring herbs - cleaver, dandelion, garlic mustard, baby burdocks, lesser celandine, japanese knotweed - and also a bunch of shrubs & trees including hawthorn, witch hazel, redbud, magnolia, willows, elm, buckeye & what i believe is horse chestnut. i was even lucky to meet duchman's breeches for the first time some kind of spotted trillium & mystery flowers with purple calyxes about to pop all in all it was a lovely time & everyone was super patient with me as i mouthed out contributions. laryngitis is not fun but we are out here y'all

check out Dawn for herbal consults, preparations, plant walks, and workshops in nyc and beyond. thank you again Dawn for getting us all outside today & sharing your knowledge! looking forward to meeting again when we can actually talk about all the things

A big thank you to everyone who came out for yesterday's walk!! sharing about the plants & spending time outside with you all was so much fun & i'm grateful for everyone's willingness to connect 🥰

during our 2hr saunter we had the privilege of meeting: saucer magnolia, cleavers, linden, spice bush, japanese knotweed, redbud, mugwort, goutweed, not turkey tail x2 (violet toothed polypore & stereum mushrooms), and last but certainly not least - the enchanting at-risk spring ephemeral bloodroot! we talked about some beginner botany concepts - identifying growth patterns (alternate, opposite & whorled) and capped off the afternoon with a sunny picnic - sharing a jar of cleavers tea, goat cheese and cucumber sandwiches & argentinian chocolates 🍫

there's so many more abundant spring and summer plants that i'd love to help you all meet, so stay tuned for my next walk coming soon! 😌

scenes from an impromptu forage yesterday at fort tilden - rose hips, autumn olive, sea rocket, mugwort & two spiny pals. the video doesn't do it justice, but the iridescence on the underside of the autumn olive leaves was gorgeous-no wonder they're call Japanese silver berries ✨
