Upward blooming. Mullein’s pretty yellow flowers begin their opening journey at the base of the flower’s tall, torch-like stalk, and work their way up to the tip of the flower spike.

The leaf is fan-shaped and split down the middle like a small green pair of lungs, on a tree that has been around for fuckin longer than most of us have.
Standardized extract is the measure, usually 120–240mg daily, and it honestly helps your memory state hold true. It does mine anyway. It can and does help.

#IndigenousGardens in #Ontario
" #Indigenous gardens and other special places are designed for people to gather, learn, heal, reflect and celebrate the diverse and rich #FirstNations, #Inuit and #Métis cultures.
"From the banks of the St. Marys River in #SaultSainteMarie and #LakeSuperior in #ThunderBay to downtown #Toronto, learn about the important role of Indigenous gardens in honouring #IndigenousCulture and knowledge in Ontario.
"Traditional plants, including the four sacred medicines — #sage, #tobacco, #cedar and #sweetgrass — are often integral to Indigenous gardens.
- Sage is often used in smudging, where the smoke is washed over participants to cleanse away negative energy.
- Cedar is a protective medicine that can be used as cedar tea, cedar baths or hung in the home to guard against bad elements.
- Sweetgrass is a kindness medicine. It reminds us to be good to others, the world and ourselves.
- Tobacco is a relationship medicine offered to start things: before a harvest, before a hunt, before asking for assistance from an Elder or to start the day. It opens up communication and ushers in good energy."Learn more about Indigenous gardens in Ontario and their significance. This is a short list of the many Indigenous gardens across the province. Please respect these Indigenous spaces, as not all gardens are open to the public."

#Gardens that Nurture #Culture
Spring 2022
Excerpt: "Growing one’s own food became more appealing and, in some cases, a greater necessity to many in this pandemic era. #NativePeoples have long tended gardens that have provided their communities with #sustainably grown foods, #MedicinalPlants and #NaturalMaterials. Today these much-needed sources of local, healthy foods are also places to cultivate and preserve #CulturalTraditions.
" 'Even some Native cultures—like #foraging cultures—that didn’t historically garden now see it as a helpful use of land and time and money because they can efficiently produce the kinds of foods that people need to stay healthy,' said Elizabeth Hoover. Of #Mohawk and #Mikmaq descent, she is an associate professor of Environmental Science, Policy and Management at the University of California in Berkeley. Researching this trend, she drove 20,000 miles in 2014 to talk with dozens of #AmericanIndian gardeners and food advocates.
"In western North Carolina, David Anderson works as the horticultural operations supervisor at the #JessieOwleDugan #NativePlant and Greenhouse Facility of the Eastern Band of #Cherokee Indians. The complex includes three #greenhouses, 30 raised growing beds, a 3-acre nursery and 5 acres of fields dedicated to producing crops specifically for their seeds. It also has 330 acres of field that can be leased to enrolled tribal members who wish to garden or farm.
"While the facility does generate funds for the tribe, it also preserves culturally important species to get them into the hands of tribal members to plant. It focuses on growing traditional plants, such as #grapes, #elderberry, #WildStrawberries, #blackberries, #huckleberries sochan and #cohosh. In 2021, the greenhouse also grew #hickory saplings, which once mature, can to provide wood that can be used to make stickball sticks, artworks and other traditional projects. 'We serve our community with plants for home, for farmers, and for restoration,' said Anderson."

Heh. So, here's an example of how I work with what's growing around. Here's a mullein plant that's in it's 2nd year that I left where it was. I decided to just work around it, and have planters with peas growing in them hanging from the plant pole. The plant pole is providing the support for the mullein, which is a favorite of the local bees!

Nature never takes a holiday.We are open 365 days 500 words
Nature never takes a holiday. It works silently and constantly, shaping life every moment of the day and every season of the year. From the rising sun that warms the earth to the gentle rains that nourish the soil, nature is always active, always providing, and always sustaining life without pause or discrimination.
No Holidays in Nature: We Are Always Open
Unlike human systems that require breaks, schedules, and closures, nature functions continuously. Trees do not stop producing oxygen at night. Rivers do not stop flowing because it is a weekend. Birds do not delay their migration because of a calendar. Every element of the natural world plays its role in a never-ending cycle of balance and renewal.
This constant activity of nature is a reminder of how life is interconnected. When forests grow, they purify the air. When flowers bloom, they support pollinators like bees and butterflies. When soil remains healthy, it produces food that sustains humans and animals alike. Everything is in motion, everything is connected, and everything contributes to the greater harmony of the ecosystem.
Inspired by this eternal rhythm, we remain open 365 days a year. Just like nature, our commitment does not pause. Whether it is spring or winter, morning or evening, we are dedicated to serving those who seek connection with green life, medicinal plants, herbal knowledge, and sustainable environmental practices. Our mission is to support people in discovering the healing and nurturing power of plants throughout the year.
In regions like Jammu and Kashmir, where biodiversity is rich and landscapes are deeply intertwined with culture, nature plays an even more significant role. The mountains, valleys, rivers, and forests are not just scenic beauty; they are living resources that support livelihoods, health, and ecological balance. Preserving and promoting this natural heritage requires continuous effort, awareness, and participation.
Being open 365 days is not just a statement of availability—it is a reflection of responsibility. It means that nature-inspired work does not stop. Seeds must be nurtured, saplings must be cared for, medicinal plants must be studied, and environmental awareness must be shared without interruption. Every day is an opportunity to contribute to a greener and healthier future.
In today’s world, where environmental challenges are increasing, the message of “nature never takes a holiday” becomes even more important. Climate change, pollution, and deforestation are ongoing issues that require ongoing solutions. Continuous effort is the only way to restore balance and protect what nature has given us.
We believe that staying open 365 days symbolizes dedication to life itself. Just as nature continues its work without pause, we remain committed to our role in supporting ecological growth, herbal knowledge, and sustainable living. Every day is a chance to plant, to learn, to grow, and to heal.
In the end, nature teaches us the greatest lesson: consistency is life. And by aligning ourselves with that principle, we ensure that our work remains as alive, active, and eternal as nature itself.
Nature Works Every Day, So Do We – Open All Year Round
We provide professional design and plant supply services for forest plantations, herbal medicinal gardens, school gardens, hospital healing gardens, parks, and home landscapes. Our team specializes in selecting suitable trees, fruit plants, flowers, and medicinal herbs to create beautiful, healthy, and sustainable green spaces. Whether you are planning a biodiversity park, educational garden, or therapeutic landscape, we offer customized solutions to meet your needs.
Contact us today to transform your vision into a thriving natural environment and contribute to a greener and healthier future.

#Honeysuckle: Edible Varieties
August 19, 2022 by Sarah
"The flowers of many honeysuckle species are edible and can have a sweet nectar that can be enjoyed in moderation. However, not all parts of the honeysuckle plant are safe to eat, and some species may have toxic components.
🍄 Foraging Guide
What type of honeysuckle is edible?Several species of honeysuckle have edible flowers, but it’s important to note that not all species are safe to consume.
Among the edible honeysuckle species, the following are commonly recognized for their edible flowers:
- Japanese Honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica): This is one of the most well-known edible honeysuckle species. The flowers are often used to make teas, syrups, or infusions. They have a sweet nectar that can be enjoyed by gently pulling off the flower and tasting the nectar.
- Italian Woodbine (Lonicera caprifolium): Another species with edible flowers, Italian woodbine is also used in similar ways as Japanese honeysuckle. Its flowers are fragrant and sweet.
- European Honeysuckle (Lonicera periclymenum):This species is native to Europe and has fragrant flowers that are sometimes used in culinary applications.
- Sweetberry Honeysuckle (Lonicera caerulea): Also known as honeyberry or haskap, the berries of this honeysuckle species are edible and are often enjoyed for their unique flavor. Sweetberry honeysuckle is native to northern regions and is becoming increasingly popular for its tasty and nutritious fruit.When consuming edible honeysuckle flowers, it’s important to remember the following:
- Only consume the flowers and avoid other parts of the plant.
- Make sure you have correctly identified the species before consumption.

My friends and I growing up would suck the nectar out of #lilacs. They were delicious and edible! (But save some for the bees.)
30+ Lilac Recipes (Yes, Lilacs Are Edible!)
By Ashley Adamant
Updated Apr 19, 2026"Edible lilacs (Syringa vulgaris) are one of the most delightful surprises of the spring kitchen, and yes, you really can eat them. Between the fragrant flowers and the short bloom window, lilacs have become one of my favorite things to preserve and cook with each May on our Vermont homestead."
[...]
"Lilacs start the edible flower season around here, but our homestead has delicious blooms to enjoy all summer long. We’re foraging dandelions for #dandelion flower recipes at the same time as the lilacs, then wild #violets come on for violet flower recipes, and #elderflowers show up a few weeks later for elderflower recipes. The old perennial patch of #BeeBalm by the kitchen door is edible and medicinal too, so the homestead kitchen stays fragrant with one bloom or another from May right through August."
