Most conversations about medicinal herbs stay at the surface - what a plant's "good for," not how to grow it well, or why so many people fail trying or what's happening to it in the wild

I bring the other side of that conversation: the growing, the soil, the climate-specific knowledge that only comes from decades with your hands in the dirt.

Plus the lineage of teachers who have imparted to me the deep understanding of these plants most modern references and phytochemistry courses never touch.
