Meet The Collective

As a clinical herbalist and community educator, I am passionate about spreading knowledge and love of plant medicine. I am inspired to empower others to develop their own connections with plants - from growing them to creating herbal formulations to honoring their spiritual healing.

Our happiness is amplified through connections with nature! I am excited to be one of the founders of this beautiful collective!!

Once a healer in the clinical world, now a student of the earth. I gather and share the timeless wisdom of herbs, helping others reconnect with the healing power of plants. Through community learning, I seek to cultivate a garden of knowledge that grows wild and free

Hi my name is Minty, so grateful to have learned herbal remedies early in life. My grandma who was a farm owner in the City of Angeles, LA Mint tea was the remedies for tummy aches and teenage cramps. With the love and support of my family I’m eager to learn more and share this exciting journey with you!

Whether I’m connecting with friends, chasing sunsets in other places, or learning about herbal remedies, I am always tuning in to the magik of the moments. I'm continually in awe of how plants offer their medicine in perfect rhythm with the seasons and for the unique needs of the community they grow within.

Hi! I'm Francesca.

After spending 30 years in the desert southwest, I am a new transplant to San Diego, this land of the Payómkawichum people. 

I come to herbalism and my admiration of plants through my love of cooking: before I knew sage was good medicine, I knew it was good food!

My little patio "garden of pots and planters" currently grows sweet potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, chard and herbs- including lots of mint and sage!

I am tickled to be on this journey of [re]discovery of the wonder of plants, and am so excited to share in the joy with all you growers and gift receivers.

We have chickens. We sell the eggs and produce on Saturday mornings. I have a special affinity for sage and currently have about 10 varieties
