The plants are our connection to the sensations and musing of the land upon which we live. For those living in the Northern hemisphere there is no better plant than Mugwort to connect us deeply to the land and heal the parts of us modernity may have harmed.

Working with plants is on the whole socially acceptable to people, borderline, but just about acceptable.

On the other hand, being open about plants speaking to me and having a voice can be very divisive.  People either get it, because they’ve also experienced it. Or they think I’m absolutely insane.

Our connection with nature in the UK may not be on the same level as the tribes of the Amazon, but the plants are ready and waiting with the same vigour and healing power of their rainforest counter parts. And they have so much to say!
