  Winter Garden The gardens are beautiful in every season. I appreciate living in the mid-west where we have all four seasons to enjoy. Winters can be harsh here in Missouri, but they are also beautiful. I like to go with the flow of the seasons with my health and wellness path. Winter is a great time of nourishing rest for our bodies. Winter is the season for eating slow foods and drinking nourishing hot drinks. I am a certified herbalist.

  As we begin a new season, we are putting together new  "The Herbal Life"  classes/workshops that will  cover many topics concerning  health and wellness.

Colors of Fall! I grow many herbs in grow bags. I love...

It amazes me that herbs, spices and wholefoods can actually tone and strengthen your body to heal itself in many situations. As an herbalist, it is so much fun to share with others  the amazing benefits of incorporating herbs, spices  and whole foods into one's daily health plan. We are not quite through the winter season here in Missouri. Even though the days are getting longer, they can still be dreary and cold!  Getting out and about in the winter  weather is quite challenging at times.  But, there is beauty during the winter as well.  It is a needful time for nature, and it is a needful time for people. Nature is resting.  It is her season to be quiet and withdrawn. Her roots are preparing for spring.  The natural way of things for people during the winter season, is a time of rest and reflection. It is a time to physical...
