Often during the talks I give about herbalism, a frequent question that arises is, "How can I best learn about herbs?" My response is always steadfast: "Select one herb, plant it, care for it, maybe even accidentally kill it AND absorb all there is to know about it. This intimate interaction fosters genuine learning and understanding. Only then should you move on to your next choice."

It’s quite a process, and it’s definitely not easy to pick just one herb to learn about when you are so excited by the topic, but in a world that often rushes by, there's profound wisdom in slowing down and immersing ourselves in the simplicity of nature.

Embarking on a personal herbal journey invites us to form a deep bond with the green wisdom and wonders that Earth provides. By growing, observing, tasting, and using one herb at a time, we unveil the secrets of the natural world, nurturing a connection that transcends a simple knowledge of gardening. This is a ritual to help you do just that.
