Tuesday January 19th, I took my twelve year-old daughter to Wild Thyme Farm inOakville, WA. It was a great opportunity to spend time around other permaculture enthusiasts and two people well experienced in the herbal world. Michael Pilarski is a well-respected teacher of all things permaculture and herbal. He has been teaching folks in the Northwest for decades. It was a privilege to be able to bring my young daughter to learn from him. Also there was resident Marisha Auerbach. Marisha is an inspiring young woman who is also a well respected permaculture teacher and herbalist. We spent the day collecting Devils Club, Usnea and a several other plants. We worked together to clean and process the what some might refer to as plant material. I consider our harvest gifts from the land. Some would make good potherbs and are great eaten fresh.We brought some home to dry and put in to tinctures and tea. They will become part of our home apothecary. Life is good.
