Welcome

Welcome to MeadowSweet Herbs & Flowers, where untamedly passionate about herbs, I share my love of growing and using food and medicine plants in my sustainable, regenerative and bio-diverse garden. Join the adventure as my interests in herbology, horticulture, and homesteading come together to make a more self-sufficient life for myself and my family on our rural acre. I hope to inspire you toward soulful gardening, and the using of your plant bounty to create both culinary delights and medicinal wonders.
