How many unplanted trays of herbs do you have waiting to get in the ground? 😅

Now is the time to plant for WNC. No more frosts and days of rain in the forecast. You have some weeks to get things done, but you might have certain plants like hibiscus roselle or butterfly pea, where they need ALL the days to produce before frost.

So what herbs are you planting in the garden this week?

One of our employees attended the Medicines from the Earth Symposium in Black Mountain, NC, over the weekend.

So much wisdom and laughter was shared, and sometimes an occasional song. 💖

Medicines from the Earth ( ) is a fantastic conference that showcases herbal medicine across disciplines. Doctors, practitioners, nurses, acupuncturists, herbalists, educators, and students of different backgrounds coming together to learn about healing.

This year was their 30th anniversary. The Blue Ridge Assembly was able to host the conference once again after it was closed down from devastating Helene damage.

There is great beauty in all of these people sharing and learning, all to become better healers for their communities.

It is equally beautiful to see the land recovering. With plants returning and new buds forming. Although some gentle rain would be nice right now. 🌧

We hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day yesterday. We know it is not always the easiest holiday for everyone. We hope those who don't have the best feelings about this day find other ways to celebrate and find joy.

Thank you to all the Mamas in every form. None of us would be here without you! 💖

This is your 1 week reminder to get those Mother's Day cards & packages in the mail.

ALSO, our Asheville location will be closed on Sunday, May 10th & Monday, May 11th, for renovations. So that means Saturday is the final day to get last-minute Mother's Day gifts and cards at Herbiary.

We will also be closed again on May 18th & 19th to finish renovations.

We are super excited that once renovations are over, we can resume hosting classes again!!!! 🥰

We are midway between the Spring Equinox & Summer Solstice. Flowers are blooming, birds are nesting, and early spring plantings are maturing in the garden.

We hope everyone gets time to enjoy this lovely spring weather (before it swings cold again) and has a safe holiday weekend. 💖

It may not look like much, but we have one less screen on the checkout counter!!! 🥹

WE DID IT! We officially changed over to our new point of sale system!!!! 🥳🥳🥳

We are still patching things up, and all of the employees are still getting used to it, so please continue to have patience with us during this process.

One big hurdle is complete. Now, to get used to it all. 😅

Beauty in every corner.

Take a moment and give some love and appreciation to our beautiful mother who carries and protects us through space.

Orbiting the sun at 67,000 mph. While our solar system blasts around the Milky Way at 514,000 mph. And the Milky Way travels 1.34 million mph drawn to the constellation Hydra. And beyond...

She dances through the cosmos while we live and breathe, unaware of most of the hostilities that lie beyond our atmosphere.

We are a speck in the vastness.

Yet our speck is just as vast in its wonders and beauty.

We hope everyone can see just how special our world is. And treat the land and inhabitants with compassion and reverence.

Happy Earth Day!

Pictures in order: Azelas (Rhododendron) May Apple (Podophyllum peltatum), Wild Black Cherry (Prunus serotina), High Bush Cranberry/Cramp Bark (Viburnum trilobum), and Sochan (Rudbeckia laciniata).

We had a friend visit us this afternoon for a minute.

Even the local wildlife knows it's National Herbalist Day and wanted to celebrate. 🥰

Local, Raw Honey is now available!!!

We just got "Wild Mountain Honey" by West Honey Farms. A small operation, located in Buncombe county (same county as Herbiary, so super local!)

We have 3 types:

Sourwood- An amber honey, that is carmel and butterscotch forward with a unique subtle tartness at the end.

Locust - A rarity outside of Appalachia or the Ozarks because it is made with the pollen from Black Locust trees. Delicate, light honey with floral and vanilla notes.

Wild Flower - Complex, dark honey with floral, fruity, and earthy flavors. More intense taste due to the variety of flowers used in pollination. This is the most vitamin rich honey.

We even have a large 36 oz jars for those who are serious about making herbal infused honey this year. 🐝🌷🪻🐝

What tinctures have you made?

As a general note: This is a loose intro into what tinctures are. This is not a complete guide.

Before making and ingesting tinctures, please know the herbs you are tincturing, their properties, safe dosage, and if they interact with certain medications or health conditions.

You can find more detailed sources for tincture making in books like "The Modern Herbal Dispensory" by Easly Horne and "The Herbal Medicine-Maker's Handbook: A Home Manual" by James Green

(We have both available for purchase in our store.)

Also, has a plethora of herbal education blogs and classes. Their tincture ratio chart on their website's blog is such a handy tool.
