I’m all for being cautious.

And some plants can cause harm- no doubt.

But if I have to hear one more thing taking some piece of science totally out of context I’m going to lose it.

Who pays these people who are trying to convince folks not to eat veggies or green things?!

And it’s done. ✅

My first ever Reading the Body weekend is complete.

What a great crew of patient, kind, loving folks who held the space and supported each other.

I’m so grateful for this opportunity.

If you want to solve the REAL problem, build deeper relationships with plants, and *gasp* trust both science AND folk tradition- then I’m your gal.

Not everyone is ready to put the work in.
I get that.
But if you are looking for accountability, knowledge, compassion, and individualized care while working with herbs, I can help.

I said what I said.

I’m not everybody’s cup of tea.

That’s why it’s important to find the right practitioner for you.

Should I have known this already? Probably. But let’s be honest- this is why there is no such thing as a ‘Master Herbalist’ (at least in the US). How can you possibly master the complexity of herbalism?

15 years of studying herbal medicine and there are many things I don’t know/ don’t remember/ never learned.

Like that these are not Nettle seeds. They’re flowers produced by the male plants. And this one big boy here is all male. No seeds for me.

So do your research. And no- this right here does not count as research, y’all.

As I dove into the archives while identifying this plant, I realized there was this thing called historical plant landmarks. It’s where finding a specific plant can clue you in about the history of the place.

There’s way more to this story than what I’ve mentioned, but the large cluster of Blackberry Lilies I found was not brought in through seed dispersal. I’ve explored this area for 30 years and have never seen any others. Someone I never checked out this one spot, at least not while it was in flower.

This flower was often found in colonial gardens as an exotic species from China. Other areas it has been found are at Mt. Vernon and Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello.

There were also other signs of a previous garden based on some of the other plants that still grow there, which I am only familiar with due to being an herbalist.

So I ‘adopted’ one of the 30 lilies I found. I also ‘adopted’ one of the baby magnolias. 😬

I think this is so fascinating, and it blends my loves of both history and herbalism 🌿
