Thank you Kami. My plants love me as I do them. Stopping to say hello when walking by is a bonding that enhances both. It’s a blessing to have them in my life. We take care of each other. Sometimes when sitting with them the insects stop by to say hello as they do their jobs. Insects and some small vertebrates are the highlight of my visits. My cats love sunning in the garden too.

Hi Kami,
Thank you for this wonderful video. I really appreciate the reminder to stop and be with what’s around me. As I walk to my front door, I am greeted by a serviceberry tree, the lavender and oregano that I have planted in addition, of course, to the things I have not planted like plantain and dandelion. In the back, I’ve got lemon balm, nettle (lots of that!), basil, parsley, cilantro, lots of fledgling vegetable seedlings, and I recently learned that this great big white flowering tree that is brushing up against my house is Hawthorne.
Thanks again for inviting me into the very alive world of what’s right around me.

A big majestic oak tree. It has a weak spot in its trunk from old age. I monitor the acorns, are they plentiful or few or riddled with bugs, they tell me about the health of the tree. A couple years ago the caterpillars ate all the leaves, I helped the tree with beneficial insects. This year we had a plentiful healthy acorn crop .

What a beautiful reminder of how to interact with nature each day! I know I’m home by having flowers to look at on the way to the front door. I whole-heartedly believe in talking to my plants and encouraging them to grow. For me, my sanctuary is my backyard, my favorite room of the house! That’s where I ground and tend to my many herbs and flowers, fruits and berries. I enjoy the fragrance of the lemon verbena, Provence lavender, sweet Basil. Oregano and mint varieties. It’s a special treat to share with a dear friend and make an herbal tea filled with all of the herbs we can pick in the yard and enjoy the visual through our clear tea mugs. Thank you, Kami, for graciously sharing your wisdom and passion with us all and to my daughter for introducing me to you with her Mother’s Day gift to me a few years back of The Herbal Kitchen book you wrote💜

I have used and loved herbal medicine for many years. Right now I am somewhat homebound as I am healing from a severely broken arm (3 places) I have many probably too many containers on my deck so I can still get out to the deck to love and smell my herbs such as comfrey, holey basil, lavendar, rosemary, thyme, oregano, lemon verbena.I need more huh?

Thank you Kami! That was very heartfelt. Up my front Midwest walk I’m greeted by my native plants. Marsh milkweed, blue lobelia, Little Henry sweetspire shrubs, bloodroot, Virginia bluebells and mayapples. My herb garden is along the back walk, lavender, thyme, marjoram, chives and sorrel. I’m enjoying your book, The Herbal Kitchen! Thanks again.

Rosemary, lemon grass, lemon balm, holy basil, Mexican oregano and a goji berry greet me as I walk to my door.
