Every Leaf Speaks Botanical Studies

Every Leaf Speaks Botanical Studies Delve into field study of flora/ecology, herbalism courses, and guided naturalist hikes. I am currently pursuing a degree in conservation biology.

My name is Christina Sanchez, I am based in the Mojave Desert but am from the Eastern Coachella Valley in the Colorado Desert, a subsection of the Sonoran Desert. My interest in the natural world was ingrained as a child, growing up in the desert among the very native plants that have sculpted my desire in studying ecology. I'm a Desert Ecologist, Environmental Activist, UC Climate Steward, California Naturalist, Bio-regional and Clinical Herbalist having studied field botany, and ecology at Columbines School of Botanical Studies in the PNW. I have studied several modalities of herbalism including Traditional Western, Clinical, Neo-Eclectic, Folk Herbalism, and Plant Spirit Medicine. I am a subcontractor for an environmental consulting firm, I host naturalist hikes, plant ID walks, plant surveys, hands-on herbalism workshops, herbal consultations, and have an online ZOOM Foundational Herbalism apprenticeship. I host grass-roots events from desert clean-ups to invasive plant removal. In my free time I volunteer with conservation non-profit organizations and the Joshua Tree National Park vegetation department where we are establishing climate change study plots and rare plant monitoring.

Hey folks follow me at 🎨 It’s weekend two of the Highway 62 Art Tours✨

The tours run from 10 to 5 pm, and I’ll be popping in to join my friend Steve in Morongo Valley at Studio 146 (48908 Palo Verde Rd).

Steve is an amazing mixed media artist who creates incredibly realistic landscape portraits that capture the soul of the desert. This weekend we’re helping support him and his partner Clay as they raise money for medical bills for their sweet dog Penelope. 💛

I’ll be offering tuna (prickly pear fruit shrubs) made with locally sourced fruit from 🌿 Proceeds from the sales of the prickly pear shrubs will go toward helping Steve and Clay cover Penelope’s medical care.

My friend Debra will also be there offering tarot and aura readings with a suggested donation of 25 dollars, which will also go toward this good cause. Debra has such a kind, gentle energy, and she often donates her time and readings to help support senior and special needs cats.

Come by, support local art, sip something herbal, get a reading, and help out a kind neighbor and fellow artist. 💚

These shrubs are nonalcoholic and low glycemic, made with a whole lot of love.✨
