🌿 Meet the Woman Behind The Honey Pot 🍯
Hey y'all! I'm Honey, and I'm so happy you're here.
If you've found this page, chances are you're curious about herbs, plants, natural living, or maybe you're just wondering what exactly The Honey Pot is all about. So I figured the best place to start is at the beginning.
My journey with plants didn't start because I grew up knowing herbalism. Quite the opposite.
Like a lot of people, I was taught that anything growing where it wasn't "supposed to" was a w**d. We sprayed it, mowed over it, or pulled it out without giving it a second thought.
That all changed in 2018 when I moved back home to the Ozarks.
One afternoon our neighbor mowed his yard, and instead of smelling fresh-cut grass, the whole place smelled like onions. I remember thinking, "What in the world?" I had to know what caused it.
It was wild onion.
That tiny moment sparked a curiosity that completely changed my life.
If wild onions had been growing around me my whole life, what else had I been walking past without ever noticing?
So I started researching.
And researching...
And researching some more.
I discovered that so many of the plants we call w**ds are actually edible, medicinal, nutritious, and incredibly valuable. Dandelions, plantain, chickw**d, violets, mullein, yarrow, passionflower...the list just kept growing.
One of my favorite things I've learned through herbalism is this:
Your w**d and my w**d are two completely different things.
What some people see as something to kill, I see as food, medicine, pollinator habitat, or a gift from nature.
The deeper I dug, the more questions I had. That curiosity led me down rabbit holes about our food system, pharmaceuticals, industrial farming, and how disconnected we've become from the natural world.
I realized I wanted something different.
I wanted to know where my food came from.
I wanted to understand the plants growing around me.
I wanted to learn the traditions our ancestors once knew so well.
I wanted to rely more on nature and less on convenience.
That doesn't mean I think herbs replace modern medicine or that everyone should live exactly the way I do. It simply means I've chosen to learn all I can about the gifts the earth provides and to use that knowledge responsibly.
That's how The Honey Pot was born.
This little business is more than teas, bath soaks, herbal creations, or handmade goods.
It's a place to share knowledge.
To inspire curiosity.
To encourage people to step outside and really see the world around them.
To remind people that nature has always had something to teach us if we're willing to slow down and listen.
Around here you'll find herbal education, plant spotlights, foraging adventures, gardening, recipes, handmade products, and plenty of stories from my own journey—successes, mistakes, and everything in between.
I'm still learning every single day, and I probably always will be. That's one of my favorite parts of this path. The more I learn, the more I realize there is still so much to discover.
So thank you for being here.
Whether you're an experienced herbalist, just beginning your journey, or you're simply plant-curious...

Let's learn, grow, and reconnect with nature together. 🌿🍯
