To me, plants are a poem. They represent a wealth of information that may not be understood at first glance. When I first started running I was plant blind. I’d run past weeds, flowers, trees, grass and barely think about it. Soon I was noticing plants that flower, plants that fruit, the seasons they blossomed and that led to my longing to know more. I would have no problem picking an apple from a wild apple tree but I was afraid of what I didn’t know about the humble weeds that grew abundantly along the roads and trails I jogged along. I’ve come a long way in my herbal journey. I can identify many plants and a few mushrooms on sight. I can confidently gather them and take them home to make a variety of herbal preparations to support my family’s physical and mental health. When I was in high school I had to read poems many times to unpack their beauty, it’s the same way with plants. If you are at all curious, join me as we discover the riches around us.
