You guys! I have another Seasonal Herbalism Community recap and preview for you today. If you’ve heard me talk about this herbal membership and wanted to know more, here’s your chance. We’ve just transitioned into summer content, and I must say, it’s SO good!

Seasonal Herbalism Community: May Recap
This past month, we covered the following topics.
- I shared May’s free desktop calendar and mobile quote wallpaper downloads to give your phone and computer a seasonal lift.
- We starting reading the Aromatics section of The Wild Medicine Solution, exploring why aromatics are an important group of herbs to know about and use! We also changed the book club chats from live events to more of a Q&A, quiz type format so all members can participate when their schedule allows.
- The first of the quarterly herb walk videos were released about foraging for cleavers as well as an additional update video when cleavers began to flower.
- I shared a photo tutorial on how to make DIY fresh flower garlands to decorate your home or yard for summer gatherings.
- I answering some herbal questions in a new June Q&A audio about dealing with herbal overwhelm, natural suggestions for growing pains in children, and flower essence basics.
- And lastly, I’ll be shared a lovely herb walk-through video tutorial this month about making buttercup flower essence (or any flower essence for that matter). Check out the trailer for that video right here on Instagram!
If you’d like to learn more about why I created this community for botanically-minded folks, I share all about that here.

Is my Seasonal Herbalism Community Membership for You?
What does it look like to embrace seasonal herbalism?
Well, let me tell you.
It means being mindful of the cycles of nature, allowing yourself to ebb and flow with the rhythms of the world around you, and letting the seasons guide you in your life and your practice of herbalism.
- This may look like foraging for herbs that are in season in your local area, studying those plants, and using them for you and your family’s wellness needs.
- It may mean honing in on a specific topic in herbalism you would like to learn more about for a set period of time.
- It looks like filling your home apothecary with seasonally-appropriate remedies formulated specifically to your needs.
- It means paying attention to the cycles and rhythms of your own body and using plants that bring balance and wellness in the midst of these cycles.
Gone are the days of trying to do it all but not knowing where to begin or how to do it!
Instead, say hello to a slow, purposeful lifestyle that will help you feel more connected, not only with the plants that nourish and keep you well, but with the seasonal rhythms of nature, and ultimately, with yourself as well.
If you…
- Long to live in sync with the cycles and rhythms of nature…
- Feel drawn toward slow, simple living…
- Plant medicine calls to you…
- Feel grounded in the Old Ways…

… then my inner herbal circle is for you!
