“The plants never forgot me. They reminded me of where I belong, where I should be. To connect with nature, is to connect with myself. That is the best medicine one can ever receive.”  —Priscilla M.

Plants have always been a part of my life. As an adult, it was all about remembering the plants that once held me as a child. I remember the taste of chamomile in my bottle when I was a baby, bay leaf tea when I had a stomach ache, mullein when I had a cough. I can still smell the strawberries, mint, and countless herbs that grew in my grandmothers garden. I was taught that plants not only have medicinal properties but spiritual properties as well. All plants have more than one purpose, and if we listen closely, they can guide us. Although my grandmothers body has faded; her knowledge and my mothers knowledge remains. This knowledge lives within me and is embedded in my DNA, its a part of who I am.

My goal is to share all the magic and the medicine that plants hold.

To remind you of the abundant gifts that Mother Nature has provided us with. Of the relationship you may have forgotten about. The land has become my greatest teacher. I have learned that if you tend to her, she will tend to your heart in return. Everything you see here, is my love letter to Mother Earth.
