I'm headed to the Portland Medicine Plant Gathering this weekend and look forward to the rendezvous with new friends and long friends. It is a blessing to see the continued expansion of the herbal community over the years. One of the pleasures of this longer perspective I'm enjoying.
As 2014 begins weaving her ends together, there is much to celebrate. New gardens, new classes, new Hedge Medicine herbals and best of all the feeling of being home. When the gardens began 22 years ago, I could never have imagined all that would transpire in them! Now, they are "just right" and ready to once again open to the grace and beauty of shared intent. Perhaps, you'll find something here that speaks to you and we'll journey together for a while as the story continues to unfold...
And, 2015 is shaping up to be a great year!
- Fedges and Podges are coming to the flumdiddley kitchen school
