Garden of Eten

06/02/2026

Today my son (Ari Rocket- aka Rocky) got to show his friends around the garden, teaching them what plants were edible and encouraging them to try new things.
There’s something special about watching kids share knowledge with one another and taste test new plants!The thought that a plant could sting you was 🤯. Curiosity grows, confidence grows, and friendships grow too.
Just a bunch of kids enjoying the simple things—fresh air, good company, while snacking their way through the garden. Thanks for sharing your kiddos and for always capturing the magic!

Thankfully, the currants are ripe because my grocery budget wasn’t prepared for summer vacation. 😂
One of my favorite things about edible landscaping is that all those years of planting finally start paying off. Gardening can feel like a slow, tedious process sometimes, but there’s something so satisfying about watching your kids wander outside and come back with berry-stained fingers.
There are so many easy-to-maintain perennial plants that produce food year after year with very little effort once they’re established. Berry bushes, fruit trees, herbs, and edible flowers can turn your yard into a place that’s both beautiful, nutritious and productive.
Today’s snack was brought to you by the garden (of Eten).

To be holy is to be set apart. Let’s be different than the grumpy world lol.
Children approach the world with wonder.
They stop for bugs. They examine flowers. They ask questions without shame. They find treasure in ordinary things.
They also feel deeply and honestly.
They cry when they’re sad. Laugh when they’re joyful. They release emotion without hesitation instead of burying it beneath performance, fear, or pride.
Somewhere along the way, criticism, cynicism, disappointment, and the opinions of others can begin to drain the color from life. We slowly hand our autonomy over to people instead of bringing everything to the altar first and asking for divine wisdom.
Discernment matters deeply, but so does wonder.
So does tenderness.
So does staying curious.
Faith was never meant to become cold, guarded, or disconnected from awe. Maybe becoming childlike again is learning to notice beauty, mystery, and the quiet ways God is always speaking through creation.
Part of that healing for me has been getting my hands dirty again. Harvesting the herbs that carry us through each season. Remembering that creation still teaches us when we slow down enough to listen.
Long live childlike wonder.

Just taking a moment to pause and feel grateful for this life we’re building. Our son painting outside, chickens wandering around, and a home that feels alive with simple joy and Sabbath peace. It’s like a little slice Eden…. But Eten.

Enter lemon balm!
Our go-to “nightcap” straight from the garden.
Lemon balm is known for its gentle calming properties—supporting the nervous system, easing restlessness, and helping little bodies wind down naturally.
But more than that, this is how we teach.
Letting them taste, smell, and experience herbs in real life builds confidence and safety. They learn what’s safe, what’s not, and how plants actually support their bodies.
This is how herbalism becomes second nature.
