Every interview is more precious than the last! What a joy to hear these conversations and what a relief to know they are archived forever. Thank you, dear Rosemary, for bringing another vision to life 🙂 I look forward to “meeting” each new friend you introduce to us!
Nice to hear these herbal stories from Rosemary’s friends speaking from such a wonderful platform. I too am an elder herbalist who started young and forged a path thru the times in the 60’s 70’s and 80″s learning from the ground up so to speak. I read Rachel Carson’s Book – Silent Spring – a long time ago now, when i was 14.
This unsettling and inspirational read, set me upon the pathways of listening and learning from the flora and fauna around me. I am happy to be in this forum and to be taking these classes with everyone to learn anew and awaken what may have been forgotten, and to find my place as an Elder among these humble people of the herbs- eva
