Juliet and Jiling chat about growing medicinal herbs in containers, making your own herbal fertilizer, and preventative garden practices to minimize diseases and pest problems. Juliet shares about her journey founding the Chestnut School of Herbal Medicine, some of her “best plant friends,” and three homegrown teas to nourish winter wellness. We conclude with a reflection on kinship from the introduction to The Healing Garden, “When we grow and harvest our own medicine, the remedy is full spectrum— it contains the intangible and unquantifiable medicine of kinship.”
