I think what fascinates me the most about many of our native herbs is how the Native American Tribes found uses for them. Many times by observing what was going on in nature itself. It is said that they first discovered Echinacea Angustifolia by observing how the Elk would seek it out to eat when…
Guest Post by TerraCycle Families are creatures of habit. Habit is helpful in accomplishing tasks with young kids, and keeping everything organized. It cuts down on the questions of what’s coming next, and keeps everyone in line. Habit is also the reason that some people think it’s harder to begin recycling, or harder to begin “going green.”…
My mom hates the word, “budget.” She says it reminds her of a diet – something people will try in order to get drastic results but ultimately end up reverting back to their previous eating, or spending, habits that got them into trouble in the first place. I have no problem using the word “budget”…
HEIRLOOMS I love all my open-pollinated heirloom varieties of vegetables and flowers. They are perfectly designed for growing in an organic garden.

The crowning glory in the garden is the wildlife within Wild Bergamot is one of those Native Herbs that attracts Bees, Butterflies, and Hummingbirds. It has been my goal to fill the garden with natives to create a natural habitat and add more diversity. We shouldn’t be shy about including herbs in our gardens. Many…
Now that we are at the height of the growing season and everything in the garden is growing in full force, much of the harvesting has taken place as well. I have to admit its been a bit tough getting my hands in the dirt as usual with this seemingly endless drought and constant threat…
