Rose­mary Glas­tar calls forth deep grat­i­tude for and mind­ful­ness of the plant world as she walks with us through the world of herbal­ism in this pre­cious episode. Remind­ing lis­ten­ers of the val­ue of con­nect­ing to the well­spring of earth, Rose­mary con­tem­plates the ways plants shape us and make us into com­pan­ions when we work with them. Woven through­out the con­ver­sa­tion is an under­stand­ing that the earth has a des­tiny of its own, one we can­not com­plete­ly com­pre­hend with­in our human lifespans.
