Each year we celebrate Spring by hosting our Annual Plant Sale, and it is one of our favorite community-involved events! At this enjoyable event, a variety of local growers spend the afternoon at PSB to offer neighbors and our local community amazing plants ready for their gardens. This year's sale is Friday, May 2nd, from 3 - 6 pm.
There is something very special about growing your own plant allies/helpers/friends...nurturing them in your garden, participating in each stage of their growth, harvesting them for food and herbal remedies. It's very empowering to experience the full-circle-ness of partnering with our green friends. Growing your own, when possible, connects us to the plants, to Earth, and to our own innate wisdom. As Aaron has said, "Nothing is better than knowing the exact source of your plant material which makes up [your] morning cup of herbal tea." And as Molly, formerly of PSB, has shared, "Motherwort is a wonderful ally to me when I feel overwhelmed and unappreciated. She calms me and gives me courage to speak my mind."
