My Shamanic Life with Debbie Philp Debbie Philp

Lawn Sunshine? Sheri said what she said. In this episode, monthly podcast guest Sheri Kurdakul shares some surprising benefits of dandelion, a plant vilified by those who want a perfect green lawn (why?!?). Sheri and I both think it’s a magical plant that spreads happiness. Sheri once again starts us off with an awesome herbal poem.

Earth Day is coming and I had great plans to do a special episode for that. Then I got caught up in recording a presentation of the paper I am writing for one of my grad school classes. It is a good topic for Earth Day, though, so I’m sharing the audio as part of the episode, after a bit of history about Earth Day to set the stage. Be sure to check out the links below for the events I mention, especially if you live near me.

Is it good to be a weed? Purple dead nettle thinks so and shows us how to be a weed that is a gentle garden companion.
