  1. Rated 5 out of 5

    Nalini Cogswell – December 23, 2021

    My daughter and I decided to celebrate the Solstice with this Herb Walk – even though it was raining, we did as reminded and wore our jackets and boots and brought along umbrellas so we could enjoy the delightful presence of the teachers Allison and Jessica, the lovely vibe of the other students, and most especially, our local herbs, from chickweed to yellow dock, nettles, hawthorn, mallow, plantain, poison hemlock (and of course, dandelion!). It was a great tour, full of knowledge and the opportunity to have hands on exposure to the plants – not to mention the tea we made from our sample harvest. These new directors of DHC are both lovely people and powerful teachers of traditional herbal medicine.

    What a sweet and grounding way to begin Solstice morning! Allison and Jessica led us on a tour of Redwood Roots Farm after a few songs and offering of hot tea. We learned about a good number of the plant devas that were out to greet us some wild, some cultivated, including their medicinal uses, nutritional value and how these beauties sit in the hearts of Jessica and Allison. Of course there were more songs, making Yule bundles and more tea. Thank you!

    This was a wonderful winter solstice gathering! It was so much fun sloshing around in the rain at the beautiful Redwood roots Farm with Allison and Jessica and everyone else. A sweet ritual crafting Yule bundles, tended and prepared for us.
    I am excited for the future of Dandelion Herbal Center under their guidance and loving hands and hearts.

It’s all about those perforations 🕳️ 🕳️ 🕳️ that’s why it’s called Hypericum PERFORATUM!

Was so happy to find a vibrant little patch of St. John’s Wort volunteering in the garden today!

Of course if this plant was in flower it would be easy to recognize (☀️☀️☀️), but it’s important to be able to identify your herbal allies in all the forms they take throughout the wheel of the year.

This one is easy: pluck a leaf, hold it up to the sun, if you see all the pinpricks of light shining through you have the “holiest” of leaves: St. John’s Wort!
