Spring has returned and we're ready to celebrate! 

This is the season of renewal and we're talking about some of our favorite spring plants.. What are we planting and what's popping up in the wild? We also dig a little deeper into one of our favorite spring herbs - stinging nettles! Learn more about this important plant - where it grows, how to harvest it plus the many ways that we can make use of this powerful ally in the kitchen and the apothecary.  

Have you ever wondered what the equinox really is? We explore the background and meaning of this astronomical phenomenon. 

Its an exciting time of year and there's already so much happening! Bevin's new book, Herbs in Every Season, is out March 25th!! In this episode, Heather reads an excerpt from the Spring chapter opening. We are so excited to share this new book with you! 

Herbs in Every Season offers gardeners, herbalists, cooks, and homesteaders a new way of looking at herbs throughout the year. In the book, Bevin encourages a year-round perspective on growing and using herbs in tandem with the seasons.
