An absolutely must have for me. I’m in awe of this plant and its effectiveness.

🌸 Passionflower (Passiflora incarnata) 🌸

With its stunning, otherworldly blooms and gentle calming properties, passionflower has long captivated both the eyes and the nervous system. Native to the southeastern United States, Passiflora incarnata was traditionally used by Indigenous peoples and later by European herbalists to calm the spirit, promote restful sleep, and soothe a restless heart.

Modern research supports its use as a mild sedative and anxiolytic, particularly helpful for:
– Calming racing thoughts before bed
– Easing situational anxiety
– Supporting deep, natural sleep without grogginess
– Relaxing nervous tension in the body

Passionflower works gently but effectively, making it a wonderful ally for both day and night — especially when blended with other nervines like lemon balm, skullcap, or oatstraw.

I often recommend passionflower as tea, tincture, or in glycerite form for sensitive individuals.

Thank you for walking the plant path with me 🌿

Help me know how to change the name of a business page on Facebook. It’s not as simple as doing so through settings apparently!

Elderberry Syrup Kit
Easy! DIY!

Elderberries are the main ingredient. They’re high in antioxidants, vitamins and immune-boosting compounds proven to help the body ward-off and fight seasonal invaders.

This blend of dried leaves, roots and berries also includes Echinacea and Astragalus roots, Nettle leaf, Ginger, Rosehips, Reishi, Chaga, Cinnamon and Clove for their immune boosting/protective/nutrient benefits.

It’s an immune-health staple in my house!

Why DIY?
DIY because it’s best to use local-to-you honey from the environment/elements you’re regularly exposed to.

$15.00 (USD) (shipping available for a fee, local pick up and drop off, will consider a trade) ~ DM me with interest!

Fun fact: the elderberries and nettle are harvested in the Minnesota by me with love. Chaga is from Northern MN!

All the milkweed flowers open! 😍
See last post for more on this

“Milkweed flowers are “among the most elaborate in the plant kingdom,” Eric Lee-Mäder writes, with “a complexity comparable to that of rare orchids.”Credit...Illustration by Beverly Duncan, from “The Milkweed Lands” by Eric Lee-Mäder, used with permission from Storey Publishing”

I’m back!

Turns out I can’t figure out how to delete this Facebook business page, so I might as well use it.

Of note: name change coming! P.s. that’s not easy either. Ha!

Arch of Brambles


It started with a book titled ‘Lore Of The Wild’ by Claire Cook-Starkey and a tiny description of brambles, then an ink sketch amidst jumbled notes about feelings and who I am.

You’re seeing a name change here because I closed my business and a overly long chapter that was healing by natures intent, while remaining in absolute awe and reverence of nature.

I’m transitioning into (thru the arch) a new phase, aka moving through this one precious, tangled, prickly, beautiful (brambles are too) life… thru an arch of brambles and back again (aren’t we all)!

I’d love for you to continue to follow along. I’m letting what I share here be organic and honest… letting it grow as it needs to, as will I.

Thanks for being here!
