Forest & Flowers is the title of this publication, as well as a place I steward in Pennsylvania where I cultivate herbs, flowers, native plants, and edible perennials, while also offering accommodations, workshops, and a venue for ceremonies and celebrations, for regeneration of people and the Earth.

This journal is a metaphorical garden of beauty, reflections, and personal stories. It’s dedicated to paying attention to the wisdom and wonders of nature, and to unearthing the sacred in the ordinary.
