“It’s important to chill after it rains.” Maurice Small

Best advice.

Red veined sorrel in the photo.

Red veined sorrel has decent amounts of vitamins A, B and some C vitamins. It is wildly known for its diuretic capacity, willingness to help in detoxification, and is a decent laxative. We also recognize its well known astringent properties. It also has been long used to treat inflammation, digestive issues and scurvy.

Do you want or need to learn more about herbs? Book a tour. Guests will learn how to sustainably harvest herbs and craft medicinal salves that support a balanced nervous system. Also the workshop introduces healing practices that can be used alongside herbal remedies to address nervous system health anxiety, depression, and other health concerns.

Numbers! It’s all in the numbers. How many more pollinators can you attract and feed? How many more worms can you support? How many more people can you convince to convert their lawns to productive pollinator beds and hyper local food access?
