Disclaimer:  While I have spent the vast majority of my adult life digging in the dirt, walking the land and learning the plants around me, immersed in books, online courses and listening to podcasts about herbalism and gardening, I have zero credentials aside from a completed Certificate of Herbal Studies from American College of Healthcare Sciences (formerly Australasian College of Health Sciences) in 2005 and being a mom to two kids and living on this Earth since 1978.  I am not a doctor and will not diagnose you.  I promote self-responsibility when it comes to health and growing and using your own plants.   I will give you my honest thoughts and you are welcome to do what you want with that information.  YOU are a sovereign being.   I am a heart centered human who cares about this Earth we inhabit and since we’re all in this together, if I can support someone getting back on their feet after a tough spell, if I can be the spark that opens up an garden in your backyard, well then, the world is a better place for it.

It is a magical time of year! Haven Making December is story-time and plant magic musings, houseplant care and recipes for Chai Tea and Citrus Stained Glass. Delve into Evergreen tree medicine and enjoy the delightful pace of Winter's arrival. #have
Those were the days… Navigating mangroves and caiman filled rivers, searching for ancient mounds and eating fresh limes off the tree. It was in the rainforest where the Plants really spoke to me, woke me up to their magic. Grateful for tha
Meant to put this Dragonfly photo up a few months back. There were 7 of them perched upon the tippy tops of the Pea trellis one day. Backlit by the setting sun, I considered it a good omen. It was shortly after an epiphany I shared with the neighbori
Items once buoyed with life, now fodder for a camera...I've always loved the old things, wondered what lives were lived, what tales were told, what sights were seen in such places. Been sitting on these pics for a bit, thought I'd share today. xo #
