Happy fall, herby friend.

I'm sipping chai and stressing about the impending frost -- will we get the lemongrass harvested? Why did we fail to plant the parsley somewhere that we can hoop it? Why have I not harvested raspberry leaf yet? So, the usual I suppose. There's always something to fret about.

I'm excited to gather for my upcoming classes (below) -- especially for my Herbal Potions class in two weeks. If the weather is nice, we'll be outside, connecting with the seasonal energy and ourselves (of course).

I'm currently contemplating my 2027 offerings. If you have ideas and desires, let me know!
