Hello,

As the first forest flowers begin blooming around me, I have been both celebrating and lamenting how people tend to learn about herbs.

Celebrating because every Spring, there’s a surge of people who want to learn more about plants. Something inside them is stirred and inspired by the energy of growth all around us. It’s beautiful to see people responding to this ancient instinct!

And here’s where I sometime lament… because the first step that people tend to take is a reasonable one that has unfortunate consequences… they ask the simple question, “What’s the name of the plant?”

Depending on how this question is answered makes a huge difference on how you deep you go into the plant world.

Check out a few of my thoughts on it. And if you have other ideas or comments, please post them below.

strength & wisdom.
