🌿 Setting Up a Backyard Herbal Apothecary

There's something deeply grounding about stepping outside and snipping a sprig of thyme or lemon balm, knowing it will soothe your body or flavor your tea. As summer begins to stretch her arms and warm the earth, it's the perfect time to carve out a corner of your backyard—or even a few pots on the porch—for your own simple herbal apothecary.

This isn’t about complexity or perfection. It’s about intention. About growing what you can, learning as you go, and leaning into the old ways, where medicine was made in kitchens and healing came from the land.
