Hello fellow herb lovers! The last little haul of thyme was harvested today, so aside from a bed of garlic going in next week, the gardens are all tucked in for the winter! The wood stove is fired up for the season, indoor cat mode has been activated and the shop is overflowing with an abundance of botanical goodies in stock.
I’ve been enjoying the steady flow of folks finding their way back in, catching up with friends of the shop that I haven’t seen all growing season long and connecting with new visitors popping in for the first time. The tea table has been full of great conversation over pots of tea, while processing herbs and talking life.

Now that the season is shifting ever more steadily towards the cold part of the year and I’m no longer out in the gardens, I’m finding that I have the desire to lean into nerd time and teach more classes. Herbcraft 101 was such an incredible time last week, just as our monthly Herbalamory class continues to be...and while the roots workshop & day long retreat was canceled due to low enrollment, I’m hopeful once the word is out that I finally have the capacity for more consistent workshops, the seats will fill up with lovely folks wanting to learn more about herbs. If you have any particular topics that you’ve like covered both in person or online, please reach out as I’m now putting together the 2026 calendar. In the meantime, all events and classes scheduled for the rest of the year are now up on the website!

And, as we continue to collectively move into harder and harder times for so many of us, I’m consistently reminded to come back to the practice of tending to what’s in front of me... and friends, I’m so grateful to be here with the plants and the people, caring for each other in all the ways that flow through these doors.

✨ancestor offering incense✨
a loose leaf blend herbcrafted with mugwort, mullein, blue vervain, marshmallow, violet, lavender (all grown in my garden) and rosemary for remembrance.
Can be worked with as incense on a charcoal disk or offered as is in a little dish on your altar.
This blend was created as a way to honor, connect and commune with the beloved departed that you hold in your heart, whether they be ancestors of blood, spirit or chosen kin.
What is remembered, lives 🖤

3 neurodivergent humans, 2 perimenopausal + 1 in full blown puberty with more hormones than ever necessary flying haywire around our space in any given moment = the creation of harmonious home incense…in bulk.

I’ve been herbcrafting a variety of loose incenses for many years as part of my personal spiritual practice, and for some reason, it never dawned on me until this week that folks may enjoy having my blends available in the shop. Whatcha think??

PS, the herbs pictured here were taken before they got all ground down and filled with intention. It was just too pretty! Instead of my usual charcoal disks, I built a fire in the wood stove, as I have a deep connection to tending the hearth already and did a ritual on the new moon this week to welcome in more peace, happiness and harmony to our home ♥️

What kind of incense blends would you like to see being carried here?

from root to seed from seed to root🌿
this year I grew ashwagandha for the first time, and unearthed these cutie little roots today! (they’re an annual here so however much they grow in one season is what we get!). The seeds in my hand came out of one of these little pods, and there were 7 pods on the plant. I planted some today and tucked the rest away, so fingers crossed for new bbs in the spring🤞

Harvested some of my 2nd year valerian root, and marveled at how the wiry little roots look like frayed nerves…another example of the doctrine of signatures. (when the plant gives us visual clues as to which body systems they have an affinity for)
rue pods, a nice surprise baby nettle haul hiding underneath the old cranky growth, a very happy st j’s wort patch, a beautiful evening primrose volunteer and a few pictures from the workshop I went to today that featured sugar beets in the living history garden at 🫜

✨ROOT SEASON✨ wanna take a deep dive into the roots with me on the new moon next week?? Join us for an online herbnerd geek out about the medicine & magic of root season 🫚

After the first frost of autumn, when perennial plants die back for the season, their energy is stored deep in the roots. No longer producing shiny new leaves, flowers and fruit, they draw their vital energy down down down into the regenerative earth and welcome the rest that comes during the cold, dark part of the year. I’d like to think that the plants can help us tune into the rhythm of the natural cycles of life that flow throughout the seasons, and roots certainly are a big mentor over here!

In this live online workshop we’ll discuss the medicinal properties and herbal actions of many roots (such as dandelion, burdock, yellow dock, elecampane, black cohosh, ashwagandha, astragalus and more) as well as reflect on the lessons that these wise roots can teach us when we follow their lead and go within. and of course it wouldn’t be a workshop with Reede without including some story sharing, wisdom gathered from the plants, while weaving it all back to the ancestral connections of our armmad (roots).

Hope to see you there ♥️♥️
ps, we went from green thumb to root fingers overnight lol who else is rocking root processing hands these days??
