Magic lives in approaching life with curiosity instead of certainty. When I make room for wonder, I remember that there's always something new to learn and something beautiful to notice.

✨ The potions are made, the children have gone home, and it's time to close the doors on Potions Camp for another year.

What a magical few days it has been.
We wandered through the gardens, met the plants, listened with curious hearts, mixed teas and potions, painted with pressed flowers, and discovered that the greatest magic often begins with simply paying attention.

To every young herbalist who joined me this week—thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! Your wonder, thoughtful questions, creativity, and laughter filled the gardens with a special kind of magic that can't be bottled.

To all the parents and grandparents who trusted me with your little ones, THANK YOU for sharing them with me. It was an honor to spend these days exploring, creating, and learning together.

One of my greatest hopes has always been that our farm would be a place where people remember something they didn't realize they'd forgotten—a sense of wonder, curiosity, and connection to the natural world. This week, I feel so privileged to be able to inspire that in the next generation.

As I put away the potion bottles, tidy the greenhouse, and sweep the last flower petals from the tables, I am already dreaming about next summer. I have pages of new ideas, a few magical surprises tucked away, and a feeling that Potions Camp is only just beginning to grow.

Until next year...
🌿 Keep noticing. 🌸 Keep wondering. ✨ Keep believing that the world is full of small everyday magic...because it is!!

Talk soon!

The milestones are worth celebrating, but it is the ordinary moments in between that quietly become the story of a beautiful life.

More fresh herbs from the farm! This week, I have Basil, Comfrey, Dill, Motherwort, Mugwort, Yarrow, and Bee Balm/Bergamot. $4/bundle each.

What's a bundle you say? Well, it varies a bit from herb to herb, but I pick enough to weigh about 4oz. See the pics of the bowl of Basil and St. John's Wort for an idea of scale.

Will pick and deliver same day to Fargo-Moorhead-Casselton area. Can also drop off at Herbz and Spicez apothecary shop in downtown Fargo during business hours.

Message me for orders and delivery info. Thanks so much!
