  • Off topic, ramble, unrelated

    I wanted to love this podcast. I found it incredibly off topic of herbal studies MOST of the time. The guests go on tangents MOST are unrelated. I find only a few sentences of each 40 minute conversation that I resonate with in my desire to learn more about herbalism. Alot of the conversations go in the direction of political feelings of the guest & happenings/changes in the herbal community which does not interest me in anyway. This isnt a podcast for a beginner wanting to learn or really any ... more

  • Interviewer is weak

    Good people and topics but the interviewer is too unfocused; interviews could use direction, introspection or deeper inquiry. Came for the Wild Carrot Herbals interview bc I love that company but it was just listening to friends talk about how much they like different places in the world, towns, etc and making plans to talk again. Didn’t come away knowing much more if anything about the Wild Carrot story. Felt annoyed!

  • LOVE 🌿

    Love this podcast so much! It brings a wide lense of the herbal world into focus to discuss current matters. It does a great job at staying mostly science/botany focused with great historical references and isn’t afraid to bring up current situations in relation to the herbal world 💕

  • G.Michele

    Thank you for the herbal conversation with Rosemary Gladstar! My heart grew an inch with compassion, refirmation and lots of positive memories of days goneby. It is such an honor to listen and to hear the names of herbalist who influenced she, others and me! Just simply heartwarming.

    My poem while doing errands this morning; Artemisia, Artemisia you are simply everywhere! Did I find myself standing in your garden with the bunny who followed me there or did I follow it. . . Oh, Artemisia.

  • I wish it was more scientific.

    I consider myself a spiritual person, but I hate how most herbalism talks from this channel and its guests (and many others in the herbalism world) seem to focus so much on the spiritual aspect of herbalism. It’s HIGHLY alienating to people who don’t share those beliefs at all, or to people who ARE spiritual, but don’t share the same views. So many people think herbalism is “alternative medicine” or that it is for hippies, hipsters, and quacks! I truly believe people think that way because of th... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Cultivating Sustainable Forestry Programs | Featuring Andrea Miller
Q: What other products or opportunities exist beyond ginseng and golden seal?
Besides the primary crops, forest farming can include decorative materials, crafts, and using invasive species for marketable products like basketry, which broadens revenue streams.
Cultivating Sustainable Forestry Programs | Featuring Andrea Miller
Q: How long do these crops take to mature, and what does that mean for someone starting out?
Many forest crops are long-term investments, with ginseng taking eight years or more to mature and golden seal taking four to six years, which means growers should plan for a multi-year horizon and consider supplemental income strategies.
Cultivating Sustainable Forestry Programs | Featuring Andrea Miller
Q: What makes a good site for forest botanicals and why is it so important?
Choosing a good growing site is critical because forest botanicals are not traditional crops, and without the right conditions they may not thrive; site selection underpins the success of forest farming efforts.
Flora's Daughters | Featuring Julia Orquera Bianco & Meghan Henshaw
Q: How was it to collaborate on this project?
The collaboration grew from a long history of joint projects and teaching; the two artists began with a small zine and expanded into a fellowship and shared research around the Lloyd Library, with each bringing complementary perspectives to medicinal plants and community education.
Herbs to Melt Ice and Build Community | Featuring Linda & Luke Black Elk
Q: What do you feel like is the role of the herbalists in times like these?
Herbalists serve as helpers and translators between the plant world and the human world, advocating for plants and people, especially those who are vulnerable.
