From Windowsill to Wellness: My Experience with the Medicinal Garden Kit

I've always been curious about growing my own herbs, but the thought of starting from scratch felt daunting. Enter the Medicinal Garden Kit – a brand new product that caught my eye recently. This kit promised a simple and rewarding way to cultivate a selection of beneficial herbs at home, and I was eager to give it a try.

A Complete and User-friendly Kit

Upon receiving the kit, I was impressed by its comprehensiveness. It included everything I needed to get started: a variety of high-quality seeds for medicinal herbs like chamomile, lavender, and echinacea, along with organic potting mix, biodegradable pots, plant markers, and a detailed instruction booklet. The instructions were clear, concise, and easy to follow, making the process accessible even for complete gardening novices like myself.

The Joy of Seedling Growth

Planting the seeds was a surprisingly therapeutic experience. Each tiny seed held the promise of a future herb with unique healing properties. Following the kit's instructions, I carefully planted the seeds in the provided pots and meticulously watered them. Within days, I witnessed the magic of germination – tiny green shoots pushing through the soil, a testament to the life force within them.

Learning and Growing Alongside My Herbs

Watching the herbs grow was a constant source of delight. The kit's included plant markers ensured I knew which was which, and the booklet provided helpful information on each herb's specific needs and potential uses. I learned about the calming properties of chamomile, the soothing benefits of lavender, and the immune-boosting potential of echinacea. It was incredibly rewarding to witness their growth and better understand their medicinal value.

Fresh Herbs: A Delicious and Functional Addition to My Kitchen

The real joy came when the herbs reached a point where I could begin to harvest them. Adding fresh, homegrown herbs to my cooking elevated everyday dishes to a whole new level. A simple cup of tea transformed into a calming ritual with a sprig of lavender, and homemade soups and stir-fries gained a depth of flavour thanks to fresh thyme and oregano. It was a delightful way to experience the bounty of my own little medicinal garden.

More Than Just Herbs: A Sense of Accomplishment and Connection

The Medicinal Garden Kit has been more than just a way to grow herbs; it's been a journey of learning and self-sufficiency. It's fostered a sense of accomplishment as I witness the fruits (or rather, herbs!) of my labor. Nurturing these plants has given me a deeper appreciation for nature and the cycle of life.

Look at me. LOOK at me. Old growth forests are important. Their loss is violence against the land.

BUT that isn’t a reason to point at younger, perfectly healthy closed canopy forests and claim they’re ecologically insignificant or bad. Their sparse understory is a function of closed canopy forests. Even old growth forests will have sparse understories if the canopy is closed. That’s how photosynthetic strata works.

The west coast has vastly different forests and history than the east. The rare volcanic eruption that made the giant stands of Douglas fir in the west possible would be literally impossible here. Our species are adapted for stand replacing fires set by indigenous peoples to drive deer and rejuvenate oak. Oak as a genus is dying here. We can’t set fires. We can’t harvest patches large enough to simulate a fire. Our deer are overpopulated and browse down every sprout that dares to reach for sunlight.

Making a sweeping ban on clear-cut and similarly ‘scary’ harvests would kill them for good. The restrictions on fire have nearly done that to species like Jack and pitch pine that rely heavily on fire to establish. They’ve been relegated to pine barrens and the rare sandy forest clearing. Our fire Cherry, thankfully, can last decades in the soil seedbank. You can only see them the first few decades after a large, complete harvest and then they die.

What’s good for one forest kills another. Not all trees are made ecologically equal - and that’s a very good thing. All trees and forests have their ecological value. Management of one forest is never applicable to other forests; they all have their own unique histories and communities that should be imitated when possible and left alone when not.

Sunlight inhibits stem growth and stimulates leaf expansion in growing seedlings, two of several light-induced phenotypic changes collectively referred to as photomorphogenesis (Figure 16.2).

3-inch plant pots are small containers ideal for starting seedlings or propagating plants. These pots provide ample space for roots to grow while keeping plants manageable.

any cactus experts?

I’m growing cactus from seeds for the first time, and a white plant, smooth and not fuzzy is growing and I thought this was odd since Cactus plants are not white… this is getting me worried and I would like to know if there is someone that can help me identify this and tell me how to possibly fix it. I’ll send a photo later since I am at school.

The process of coming out and growth into self.

Currently available to view via my exhibition “Shifting Bodies” at the Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery until January 14th 2024.

video description: A ceramic sculpture of a simplistic, white, long snouted mammal. It lays on its side, eyes closed, yellow flowers sprouting from its limp body. A rectangular hole in its torso displays its guts, exposed ribs slightly curled around a small, white blob nested in the viscera, the only features being a set of eyes peering back at you.
