In this episode, I’m sharing 10 life-changing books that every herbalist, gardener, and nature lover should have on their shelf. These are the books I return to again and again—whether I’m planning my medicinal herb garden, identifying wild plants, or curling up with a beautiful summer read that reconnects me to the heart of herbalism.

🌿 As a clinical herbalist, gardener, and teacher, I believe that books can be powerful allies in our journey—offering deep knowledge, creative garden inspiration, emotional healing, and spiritual connection. Some titles are practical and grounding, while others invite us into the soulful and intuitive side of plant medicine.

Whether you're new to herbalism or a longtime plant person, I hope these titles will inspire you to grow your library, your garden, and your relationship with the green world.
