Verdant News: Midsummer Edition
Verdant Way's Summer Edition News and Announcements - Stories, Plants, and New Offerings Coming Your Way
💚 Summer is here, and so are we
It’s been a season of tending plants and ideas – and of building an apothecary from the forest floor up. Verdant Way is now open, with handcrafted extracts, teas, and seasonal offerings rooted in relationship with the southeast Texas land I call home.
The first circle of listeners are just gathering, whether you are a seasoned herbalist and/or forager, or you are curious about plants and enjoy supporting wildcrafted small efforts like these.
If you’re just joining the path, welcome. This newsletter will arrive about once a month with recent reflections, new offerings, and a little glimpse of what’s growing.
🌿 What’s New in Our Research
- Field Notes & Reflections
- iNaturalist observations in June: 48!
- Recipe: How to Make Fresh Elderflower Syrup
🛍️ What’s in the Apothecary
These are small batches, made by hand, from plants I gather and process myself. This month, you’ll find over 15 products, including:
- Yaupon Tea, dehydrated yaupon leaves - enjoy like yerba mate or mix with your favorite tea for a caffeine boost.
- Mimosa Flower Extract, basically bottled springtime. Mimosa flowers are traditionally used for anxiety, and recent studies have indicated that it improves the effects of anti-depressants and works well on its own.
Subscribe as a supporter and receive a special gift box filled with wildcrafted herbal extracts, tea blends, and sprays.
