We're taking it slow and easy during the warm months. There won't be a formal class tomorrow, but if you sign up for class, I will host a Zoom meeting for casual discussion about planting and which plant you have decided to get to know better. I bought two holy basil plants during our Boychuk Greenhouses tour last weekend and I'm going to plant some of my own harvested seeds and another herbalist's seeds that I found with the dried holy basil I bought from him last week. You can see how tiny the holy basil seeds are in the photos. My first magic encounter with the plants was in making this post. I was ready to put the two plants back in the sun and this little ladybug jumped on one of the plants!

Today was a beautiful sunny 🌞 day for our tour. It was great to meet up in person and share our joy for spring beginning here (finally!). After the tour, I went for a nature walk with my family at a nature preserve in our city. We will visit community members' gardens and share skills over the warm months.

Contact me if you would like to share something with our group, even if it's through a Zoom class. Qi gong, a guided meditation, herbal or plant information, gardening tips are all great skills to organize one of our classes around. Send me a message if you're interested in being a guest speaker for a class.

*Day and date correction * If you live locally, join us for our Boychuk Greenhouses tour this Saturday, May 9 at 11 am. These greenhouses have the most varied selection of herbs. Pictured below is my favorite pot of herbs I buy each year. Lemon balm, lemon verbena, lemon thyme and lemongrass.

I belong to another herb group on Skool led by our kind, knowledgeable mentor, Carol Little. We're celebrating our 4th anniversary 🎉 We would love to have you join us. We learn about and experiment with herbs. What I do is a little different from Carol as I take deep dives into our inner realms, our relationship with Mama Gaia 🌎 and our reremembering as we awaken our multidimensionality in this incredible era. I focus on our sensuality and sexuality as co-creators with Source/God. Both groups are valuable ways to learn about our earth and ourselves. Below are some photos of my playtime with Butterfly 🦋 Pea Flower powder in Herb Gals. I made tea, honey, lotion and colored eggs. https://www.skool.com/studio-botanica-3311/about?ref=78c3366349e84649a6231063b1a7ae8c
