Just a friendly reminder to anyone wanting to grow their own herbs, medicinal herbs, fruits, vegetables, or pollinator gardens 🌿🐝🦋
Check your planting zone and start those seeds now so your medicinal, pollinator, and spring gardens are ready to thrive. 🪏🌱🪴
I’m in Zone 7b, getting the soil—and intentions—ready. Where are you growing from? Your zone -your growing season 🌿

How to Find Your Growing Zone 🌿
1. Go to the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map (available on Almanac.com – The Old Farmer’s Almanac).
2. Enter your ZIP code.
3. Your zone will pop up (ex: 7a, 7b, 8a, etc.).

What Your Zone Tells You:
Your growing zone is based on your area’s average minimum winter temperatures and helps you know:
• When to start seeds 🌱
• What plants can survive outdoors ❄️
• The best timing for planting herbs, fruits, vegetables, and pollinator-friendly plants 🌿🍓🥕

Why It Matters:
Knowing your zone helps you choose the right plants, support local pollinators, plan seed starting, and follow proper planting times using tools like Almanac.com’s planting calendars and frost dates.

🌱 Know your zone, know your plants — and your garden (and pollinators) will thank you. 🐝🦋

Rosemary is more than a kitchen herb.

This aromatic plant has been used for centuries to support both the mind and body.

Rosemary is known to:
• Sharpen focus and support memory
• Provide antioxidant protection against cellular stress
• Offer antimicrobial properties that help defend the body
• Increase circulation, supporting warmth and healthy blood flow
• Support mental clarity through aromatherapy
• Stimulate hair growth and support scalp health

The scent of rosemary is especially powerful. Inhaling its essential oils can stimulate the nervous system, improve alertness, and promote a clear, focused mind. This is why rosemary has long been associated with remembrance, protection, and mental strength.

Grow your own 🌿
Rosemary is easy to grow. Give her at least 4 hours of sunlight (6–8 hours is best) and well-draining soil. She’s drought-tolerant once established and even helps repel some common garden pests.

Ways to use rosemary
• Add to tea 🫖
• Use in meals and infused oils
• Add to hair rinses and scalp oils
• Grow in the garden or in pots near your kitchen

Key flavor notes
• Piney & Woody — resinous, like evergreen needles
• Earthy & Herbal — deep and grounding
• Citrus & Mint — subtle brightness that cuts through richness
• Peppery & Bitter — warm, slightly pungent, especially when cooked

Herbal Safety Reminder
Always do your own research before using any herb.

🌿 VALERIAN ROOT (Valeriana officinalis)

Historically, valerian has been used to support insomnia, migraines, fatigue, and stomach cramps. Traditional herbal systems valued valerian for its deeply calming effects on the nervous system, particularly when stress manifested both mentally and physically.

Look at those roots 🤎 Remember when we talked about sweet potato slips? 🍠🌿
This is the sweet potato I put in water — and look at the roots it has now! Once you place a sweet potato in water and let it root, it will begin to grow slips. Those slips are what turn into your sweet potato plants.

The beautiful part is how simple this can be. You can start sweet potato slips right at home using everyday items like spice jars, glass cups, or small jars — no fancy setup needed. Once the slips form, you can gently twist or cut them off, let them root in water, and then plant them in soil in the spring or after your last frost.

You don’t need a lot of land or space either. Sweet potatoes can be grown in grow bags, buckets, containers, or small garden spaces. Whether you’re growing indoors first or planting outside later, one sweet potato can turn into many plants.

This is food security. This is self-sufficiency. This is growing nourishment for your family with what you already have. 🌱

If you’re not following Earthly Rooted, go ahead but let me give you A little visual — and the heart — of what Earthly Rooted does 🌿🤎 also check out the bio for Earthly Rooted 🫶🏽

This is Earthly Rooted.

Here, we honor plants as teachers, medicine, and allies. From gentle teas and grounding blends to mindful herbal education, everything shared is rooted in intention, respect, and balance.

Herbs are powerful — and when used with knowledge, care, and awareness, they can support the body, spirit, and everyday life.

What you see here is:
🌱 plants I’ve grown
🌱 medicine made by hand
🌱 food preserved with love
🌱 a slower, more connected way of living

Behind it all is a lifelong calling to help others.
After 22+ years in healthcare, that calling didn’t fade — it evolved.

I blended my love for caring for people with my love for plants, natural living, being outdoors, farming, and gardening, creating a path that allows me to support my community in a more holistic, rooted way.

Through herbalism and mindful living, I help people reconnect with what the earth already provides — gentle support, nourishment, and balance.

This is care that honors:
🌱 the body
🌱 the land
🌱 ancestral wisdom
🌱 and community healing

Using what the earth provides, with intention and respect.
Rooted in the earth. Guided by wisdom.
This is the heart of Earthly Rooted. 🌿🤎
