Branch, Michigan Welcome to my journey!

Hello, I'm Danielle, a passionate advocate for native flora and fauna. Six years ago, my daughters and I embarked on an adventure of a lifetime, trading Washington state's familiar landscapes for the diverse beauty of northwest Michigan. Fuelled by my passion for native plants and animals, I'm on a mission to revive my beloved nursery on our picturesque 3.5-acre haven in Branch. As a devoted advocate for these incredible species, I'm dedicated to sharing their secrets and inspiring others to cherish their vital role in sustaining a healthy ecosystem. Through this platform, I'll share knowledge, spark inspiration, and raise awareness about the importance of preserving our natural world for future generations.

⚠ Watch out for turtles while traveling this long weekend and into September, as turtles will be on the move to their hibernating locations and are at risk of being hit.

If you find an injured turtle anywhere in Ontario: contain the turtle if it's safe for you to do so, make note of exactly where you found it, and call us at 705-741-5000, option 9. We'll walk you through what to do, and make arrangements to get the turtle to our centre. If you find an injured turtle outside of our operating hours, please keep it somewhere safe until we can get back to you. Thanks everyone!

Have a happy and turtley safe weekend 🐢

Signage often helps lessen any objections neighbors may have to the more naturalistic/wild look of our native plant gardens. Wild Ones now has these garden flags available as signage options 🙂.

Jewelweed is often used as a natural remedy for soothing skin irritations caused by poison ivy. Its flowers look like orange cups filled with nectar, and the shape is particularly well-suited for hummingbirds' long, slender bills, allowing them to easily access the nectar within.

Who is Honest Roots Permaculture?

Hey, folks! My name is Danielle and I am the brain behind Honest Roots Permaculture. I am a permaculture gardening, foraging, earth loving, homeschooling, mother of two whose goal in life is to inspire people to live sustainably by growing gardens in place of lawns and planting food forests in place of monocultures (i.e. conventional farms).

Having been interested in plants since I was a small child, my wish is to bring knowledge to anyone who is open to learn what I have to offer. I believe wholeheartedly that we as humans should be more in touch with our roots by growing our own organic food and medicine, using the Earth as a guide.

All of the plants that I grow are heirloom (usually native to my region), grown organically, and never genetically modified or hybridized. All of my herbal products are also organic and non-gmo.
