A slower way to learn
You don't forget
a flavour.
Information is everywhere. Ask Google, ask AI, and you'll get an answer. But you don't learn a plant from a screen. You learn it by smelling it, tasting it, making something with it. You don't forget a flavour. That's the one thing all the AI in the world can't give you: experience.
It's a bit like a new friendship. You don't learn everything on the first coffee. You take your time, listen to the stories, and notice how this person (err, plant) makes you feel, and whether it's good for you. It's a relationship, and relationships take time.
Maybe you've wanted to try herbs or make your own simple recipes, but didn't know where to find good-quality herbs and supplies, or the little rules for drying, tinctures and more. Maybe you're outside and don't know where to start identifying plants.
Playing with Plants is a slower way to learn. Each month, we explore a practical home-herbalism skill and make something together. You'll learn by doing, practise between lessons, and build confidence while putting together a personal apothecary made for you.
And it's fun. You'll keep a plant passport of what you try, what works, and what surprises you. By October, you'll have a small home apothecary you made yourself, and the confidence to keep going.
Beginners welcome. Bring your curiosity.
