These beauties will be in the Spring Herb Box- balsam poplar + motherwort infused oil mixed with some beeswax to make a salve that will ease joint and muscle pain.

And yay- Spring is here- it’s time to enjoy the wonders of the plants as they emerge from their slumber. 🌿🌿

Checking on some buds today… horse chestnut tree

Checking on some buds today… horse chestnut tree survived for now, it is small but mighty. The other ones seemed to have been a snack for someone. 😳. The schisandra vines are full of buds!! Yay!!

Balsam poplar update- not ready to harvest… the buds are not very plump yet but I am getting the tiniest aroma from them so the time to harvest will soon be upon us.

Sippin’ on holy basil + calendula tea grown in the Bear Roots garden and realizing how much I miss being around all the lovely plants.

While I’m working in the gardens sweating to death, being eaten alive by black flies and cursing the persistent porcupines I wonder if I’ll do it again next year…. who am I kidding the answer is always going to be yes.

All the annoyances come with some amazing rewards; the best of all is being able to spend time amongst nature enjoying all of its magic 💚

A close second is being able to share the plants with other people 🌸

Digging the ashwagandha today. Look at those cute little berries that hold an abundance of seeds for next years planting. This year I’m trying to save as many seeds as possible but as always it’s a struggle...so much to do and so little time ...

Chamazulene- fun to say and cool to see!!! So if

Chamazulene- fun to say and cool to see!!!

So if you aren’t familiar with this constituent you should know that it is in a few plants; namely Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) and Chamomile (Matricaria recutita) which are the ones I was distilling in these pictures.

It’s claim to fame is that it is anti-inflammatory, a free radical scavenger and it’s also pretty cool that when it goes through the distillation process it turns blue. I mean it’s really the only reason I bought the still- I just had to see it happening in person!! Hahaha okay that’s not really true... or is it?!?!

I’ve been distilling non-stop this summer making so many wonderfully aromatic and medicinal hydrosols. It’s been dreamy. 💚

The Valerian is starting to bloom and whoa did it

The Valerian is starting to bloom and whoa did it ever decide to spread around the land this year!

Typically the roots are used for medicine however I like to make a tincture of the flowers which I find has the same medicinal properties but a little gentler.

Valerian is often used for insomnia however it is also beneficial for those people who may have muscle spasms and tension, twitches and ticks. It is also helpful for those with nervous digestion or emotionally related digestive issues.

Combining the flower and root tincture creates such a balanced whole plant medicine 🌱
