The Appalachian Herb Collective (AHC) is an Herbal Re-leaf effort created in response to the devastation inflicted throughout our area after Hurricane Helene decimated and displaced so many. This is a grass roots effort of local Herbalists on the ground, meant to directly hep the folks affected by this catastrophic event. They have dubbed themselves, the Appalachian Herb Collective (AHC) as they are covering as many counties in Western North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee as possible offering Free Herbal Mutual Aid hubs. 

They currently have various locations set up in Madison, Buncombe and Yancey County in North Carolina as well as Unicoi County, Tennessee and are actively working to set up even more AHC stations to support as many areas affected as possible.

In this episode of The Herbalist Hour, I'm joined by Robin Rose Bennett.

Robin Rose is a story-teller, writer, and herbalist. She has been offering classes in WiseWoman Healing Ways: Herbal Medicine and EarthSpirit Teachings since 1986 - at herb conferences, festivals, clinics, medical and nursing schools, and most joyously, outside with the plants. 

She recently released another incredible book called "The Young Green Witch's Guide to Plant Magic". I had so much fun reading through it, we had to have her back on the show to go in-depth on the book.

We chat about what inspired her to write the book, how we can give back to the plants, the "connection ritual", why a dandelion doesn't want to be a rose and what we can learn from that, how we can cultivate a sense of kinship with plants and a ton more.

This is one of my all time favorite interviews and I know you're goin' to love it! 

Thanks for tuning in and we'll see you in the next episode,
