My gathering of plants from the gardens to make a bouquet from the shop was so bittersweet yesterday.

There were no multicolored Dahlia‘s, flowers springing up from every corner, an abundance of lush green choices.

Instead I had to look closer, finding the beauty among the decay, what was still bursting with life as the Earth begins its winter hibernation.

I found a few sprigs of sweet fern still holding onto their leaves, hydrangea blossoms that weren’t fully crisp, a shrub I don’t know the name of that had papery pink pedals, and of course an abundance of evergreens.

No matter what time of year, the pines and the thujas and the cedars offer themselves to us and I am so grateful.

Inside Wild heart is coming to life more and more each week as we stock our shelves for what I hope will be a very busy holiday shopping season.

This week we received so many beautiful hand poured beeswax candles in a variety of shapes and sizes, brightly patterned organic cotton dish towels that I can’t stop looking at, our favorite mug prints that we have been sold out of are back in stock.

And of course we are making so many herbal products for you and your loved ones!

We have our best selling teas in stock, a fresh batch of our super popular and always selling out Healing Hands Salve, and the new Dark Night Simmer Pot that I made on a whim.

The shop has been so busy the past few months and I can’t fully express my gratitude!

Wild Heart is a dream come true and your enthusiasm, your support, your purchases allow this to be. Thank you from the deep depth of my green heart!

We’ve been helping people sleep better, reduce stress in their mind and body, increase nutrition and vitality to all parts of their being, and just more deeply connect with themselves in the world around them, whose benefits cannot be understated.

So come visit Wild Heart for herbal remedies and thoughtful, sustainable, well-being offering holiday gifts.

We will greet you with a warm smile and a mug of herbal tea as we help you find exactly what you were looking for.

We truly can’t wait to see you and welcome you into the coziest of community herb shops!

Every season is gorgeous at .heart.herb.house and but there is something extra enchanting and magical about the fall!

i’ve been mesmerized all week watching the leaves change color and it’s been an absolute explosion of vivid hues, a little bit different every day.

The time change and the full moon certainly has me feeling a little bit wonky this week, but I’m actually looking forward to the walk towards winter solstice, the darkest day, this year.

I’ve been focusing on making wild heart as cozy and delightful as I possibly can, pouring my energy into what I can contribute to supporting others, and myself in the process.

we’re all in this together, so let’s love and support each other with the fiercest energy we can muster.

I live you.

Expect special treats every single week until the solstice, today get a free lavender smudge bundle with every $50 purchase.

We are open Wednesday, Thursday, Friday 12 to 5 and Saturday 10 to 3.

Can’t wait to see you!

It’s a perfect fall week at Wild Heart!

Take a stroll through the beautiful gardens, the foliage is so bright right now, flowers are still showing their beauty, and our Brugmansia has over 30 large white blooms!

Maybe you’ve heard that passionflower is good for sleep, or nettle is high in vitamins and minerals, or lemon balms helps with depression and anxiety.

But what exactly does this mean?

How do I take lemon balm?

Do I eat it?

Make a tea? tincture? essential oil?

How much do I take and how often?

There is so much herbal information out there, some of it often contradicting.

Every herbalist has their own way of doing things and searching online can be confusing or overwhelming.

Where do you even begin?!

Guess what? Wild Heart Herb House is here to make herbalism simple + easy for you!

🌿 Introduction to Herbalism is happening at Wild Heart in New Bedford THIS SATURDAY October 25! I just love teaching this class 🌿

“I love herbs so much but I don’t know what to do with them!”

I hear this sentiment at the shop all the time, people feeling the call of the plants but not knowing where to begin.

I can show you!

Our next Introduction to Herbalism class is on Saturday October 25 at Wild Heart Herb House!

It is my true passion and PURPOSE here on Earth to introduce others to the abundant healing power of plants and how creating RELATIONSHIPS with them can completely change your life in wonderful + unexpected ways!

This class is also a clear and practical introduction to herbs + herbalism that will open doors into ways you can begin to collaborate with your new herbal allies.

We will discuss:

🌿 What herbalism even is + who practices it

🌿 How it differs from western allopathic medicine

🌿 The importance of sustainable local whole plant medicine

🌿 The basics of herbal medicine making such as infusions, salves, infused oils, and tinctures

🌿 How herbs nourish + support the body, emotions, mind, spirit

🌿 Herbal actions + constituents

You will leave this class feeling inspired + invigorated to begin and/or deepen your herbalism practice!

Even if you have been practicing herbalism for a while, you will leave with new ideas and inspiration. And of course your input and experiences are most welcome to be shared!

It will be cozy, we will sip herbal tea and sit in our lovely living room space and learn about herbs. A perfect autumnal morning :)

I hope you will join us!

Saturday October 25 from 10:30-12:20 at Wild Heart Herb House in New Bedford, Massachusetts.

Sliding Scale $25 - $45 to attend, with a suggested price of $35.

Please message me if cost is preventing you from attending. No questions asked, you can come for free or any amount of your choosing. But if you can pay, please do! This supports me and my ability to run classes like this at Wild Heart.

🌿Comment HERBS below and I’ll send you the link!

Also take home an herbal action glossary handout, you will reference this again and again along your herbal path. I couldn’t easily find this resource when I was first getting started so I made my own :)

✨NEW HOURS AT WILD HEART!✨

we are always shifting, growing, evolving, slithering from one season to the next, learning what works, and letting go of what doesn’t.

so with that in mind, we are slightly shifting our schedule for the cooler months.

we are now open Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 12 to 5 and Saturday from 10 to 3.

I decided to open Wednesdays to make more time for mini spur of the moment consultations when people come in the shop and want to discuss with me what’s going on in their life so I can recommend herbal allies that might be supportive for them.

we are letting go of being open every Friday evening. we had some absolutely magical memories made during this time but it was just too much to have an event every single week.

we will definitely still be hosting Friday evening community gatherings but they will be on a seasonal/sporadic basis instead of monthly.

with the exception of wild hearts open mic poetry, that will continue on being the third Friday of the month every month.

September at Wild Heart has been an absolute dream; the vibrant opening of salad days art exhibition (up until October 12), an absolutely magical herb fest last Saturday (which I am still processing and will share more about in the future), and getting a front row seat to the changing of the seasons at Haskell Gardens.

thank you from the deepest steps of my heart for being on this journey with us! I am so honored to walk this plant path with you 🌿

The classes this year at Herb Fest are absolute 🔥🔥🔥!!!

We are welcoming back familiar faces to teach some of last year‘s most popular classes while also welcoming in new wisdom and insights.

This is a small sampling of what will be at the full buffet of Wild Heart Herb Fest this Saturday, September 27 in New Bedford, Massachusetts.

Last night was an absolute dream, a whisper, a prayer, a celebration of life worth living, of people coming together, of art and ideas and inspiration being shared in community.

Artists, visionaries, revelers from near and far joined us to frolic in the gardens, engaging with plant life and the textures of stone, witnessing the bats out at dusk gracing the sky but they’re hungry swoops.

A reminder of why we persist, why we make connections, why we resist oppressive forces, why we gather in community, what life is fu***ng for.

🌿🌸🌟

Join us next Saturday for Herb Fest, a heart opening gathering that will revitalize you, restore your faith in humanity, and remind you of why you’re here.
