Valerie Segrest Publishes piece in Yes! Magazine on Wildflowers
TPS Co Founder and Partner Valerie Segrest recently published an article in Yes! Magazine titled “Wildflower Apothecary.”
She writes “In early summer, we introduced seven traditionally healing wildflower plants and how to invite them into our gardens. Now is the time for harvesting and transfiguration.

Respectfully removing parts of plant communities begins with the harvester making an offering. This can be a prayer or a song or maybe tidy up the space around the plant. Also, don’t take too much, make it look like you were never even there. Hold good thoughts and consider how you want people to feel when they experience your finished product. “
