Thank you to the incredible group who showed up to design, share laughs, trade tips, and courageously let the flowers lead the way to an arrangement reflecting something beautiful and true to you.

🌿Fibers that Bind🌿

My latest monograph is live on the blog, and it’s a powerful one. We’re tracing the deep roots of cotton, through the people, the land, the labor, and the legacy bound in every fiber. This isn’t just a nerdy musing about a plant. It’s about memory, burden, resilience, and the complicated histories we carry forward. Head to the website to read it.

And if this speaks to you, you’ll want to join me for the Art of Herbalism series presented by , where we explore how plants shape our lives, past and present, through hands-on making and meaningful conversation. Each session is an invitation to remember, reconnect, and create.

Echinacea, She’s More Than a Pretty Petal.
We just dropped a plant monograph on the blog about echinacea in her full glory: healing, resilient, steeped in folk tradition, lymphatic magic, pollinator magnet to pollinate tours, all while having the prettiest little pink petals.

Featured is a sweet botanical illustration by Kelly Johnson of Wings, Worms, and Wonder and a photo of some echinacea we harvested from our field. We’re fortunate enough to grow an heirloom variety from one of Nitika’s herbal mentors.

Meet my friend Datura. Come out to play with us for First Friday to build your own bouquet of freshly cut flowers from the farm.

✨From slender bud, a promise sealed,
The Datura unfurls, a beauty revealed.
Like ivory trumpets, soft and white,
It opens wide to the fading light.
Its fragrance sweet, a captivating lure,
Inviting pollinators, and those who dare allure.
Yet, a darker truth beneath the guise,
For danger in its essence lies.
Known as Thornapple, or Moonflower’s grace,
It whispers secrets, of a sacred place.
Ancient whispers, of altered mind,
A plant of power, of a different kind.
The seeds within, a potent brew,
A journey awaits, for those who see it through.
But beware, dear friend, the Datura’s plea,
For madness lurks, in its intoxicating glee.
Its fleeting beauty, a poignant sign,
Of life’s frail balance, and the divine.
So gaze upon the Datura’s bloom,
A testament to life, and its fragrant doom.
Datura.

Beneath the Soil, A Story Unfolds…
Because flowers don’t just grow. They serve. They soften a room, mark a moment, speak without words.
