Hi everyone, I've decided to close this Skool community on June 30th That should give y’all time to finish any courses you’ve been working on in the “classroom” tab and make connections with the folks you want to keep in contact with. This group has been super fun, but I need to simplify my workflow. I have been pulled in too many directions between my day-job, side gigs, volunteer work and keeping up with publishing videos to YouTube, Tiktok, Rednote, Instagram and facebook (You can find me on all those platforms as @thatweirdplantlady) If you want to stay in touch and keep getting foraging tips, plant IDs, and updates on my next book, you can join my email list here: https://forms.gle/tPNGbbLHmeRtpCHH9 That's where I'll be sharing my best content going forward - no spam, just plant & fungi fun in a monthly or bimonthly newsletter. Thank you for being here. Hope to see you on the list. - Melanie 😁👍🌱✨

This year I spent quite some time making my veg patch neat and easy to harvest from, because If my wife can't see it, she doesn't pick it .

The children’s garden has the most adorable collection of plants!

Just saw this on my way to the ranch. I don’t remember seeing this plant before. It’s along side a country road in Hutton Illinois.

In college, I participated in a World Humanities Expo. My subject was Lavender. I could sing the praises of Lavender for days on end! Lamiaceae mint family.
