    Dreaming with the Plants | A Rosemary Story with Heather Sanderson

    What happens when an herb you've just studied gives you a lesson you won't forget? Heather Sanderson reads a rosemary story from her book, Dreaming with the Plants. What began as a late-night cup of rosemary infusion became a memorable lesson in paying attention, learning through direct experience, and recognizing the plants beyond our spice cupboards. Heather shares how this encounter helped bridge the gap between studying herbal medicine and developing a personal relationship with the plants themselves. Dreaming with the Plants explores plant connection through stories, physical medicine, folklore, spirit, and consciousness, with a meditation or adventure offered for each plant. Has a plant ever taught you something you couldn't learn from a book? Share your story in the comments!

    From Corporate Life to Community Herbalist | Shannon Mayernik

    In this episode of The Herbalist Hour, I'm joined by Shannon Mayernik, herbalist and co-owner of Mayernik Kitchen in northern New Jersey.  Shannon shares how a single class with Robin Rose Bennett in 2009 sparked a love of herbalism that eventually led her from a career in publishing to working on a farm and building an apothecary with her husband, Matt.  We chat about her herbal education, the joys and challenges of changing careers, and creating a space where people can watch medicine being made and learn to make their own. We also explore her longtime connection with mugwort, the practice of studying one plant through an entire growing season, and her recent experiments with fennel.  Along the way, we get into food preservation, seasonal eating, hands-on herbal education, and why relationships with local farmers are such an important part of their work.  Shannon also shares why she'd love to see an apothecary in every town, and why she sees more herbal businesses as an opportunity to build community.
