Resting.
Dreaming with
Rich Cech's
Native Medicine Plants of the World Catalogue.

The introductions, opening pages
are as much poetry medicine as plant medicine.

One of my ongoing projects at the Pacific Symposium
over the years has been to encourage the
practitioners of TCM--Traditional Chinese Medicine--
to grow some of their own medicine.

We had success in our own garden with the main plant
that I was sharing at last year's Pacific Symposium--
Mugwort.

Mugwort is used as Moxa...a fragrant dried herb
that is used on specific points of the body to raise up
heat.

Our Mugwort has produced some good size sprawling plants.
They are producing seed now.

it is about once a year that I talk to Rich.

We met originally at the Natural Product Expo West.

Last year, I also planted some of the Crimson ___
cover crop.

I want to get some assortment of Chinese herbs
more Mugwort.
DVD of Richo to play...
"Sowing Seeds Worldwide."

Some seeds to atract Butterflies...

A box of catalogues to give away.

Herbal Emissaries book?

They have a sweet simple catalogue
but put lovely photos on the web site.
I better get on the phone now...
Looking up the phone number....

Lifeline Medicinal Herb Garden, (18 seed packets), organic:

Pretty regularly gardening friends tell us that they are a bit overwhelmed by our catalogue and the hundreds of choices of rare, common, aromatic, smelly, ponderous, piddly, floriferous, leafy, weedy, picky, poisonous, nutritious, sour, sweet, bitter, toothsome, fruity, barren, hard, soft, stemmy, creeping, rooty, viny, night-blooming, day-blooming and just blooming CONFUSING medicinal herb seeds and plants that we offer. One evening Mayche and I were taking a stroll in the gardens. I took her elbow and guided her between the evening primroses with their yellow, mucilaginous blooms and the burdock, with its velcroed seedheads ready to burst into genetic infinity. A dragonfly swooped by, while a striped pheonix moth unfolded its inch-long proboscis into a waiting garden sage flower. In the sky, an amorphous white cloud was illuminated from behind by the setting sun, superimposed against the darkening blue of the heavens. Inspired by this tiny set of events, or perchance listening subliminally to the chattering of the plants themselves, we began to discuss putting together a set of herb seeds that would embody the foundation for a diverse medicinal garden that would contribute to every aspect of health and well-being, and making this set of seeds available to people at a very low cost, so that more would find it possible to buy them and realize the benefits. That way, our gardening friends wouldn’t have to choose. We would choose for them. “Let’s call it the LIFELINE garden,” said Mayche. “Its like throwing people a lifeline to bring them back to health.” “I like it,” I said. Then Mayche (ever the shopper) said, “And, its like lifeline pricing at the co-op, where they sell organically grown stuff like brown rice, potatoes, and dried beans for just over cost, to make sure that everybody has enough to eat. “OK,” I said. So here it is, folks, the LIFELINE medicinal herb garden. 100% USDA certified organic seeds from our garden to yours. You can’t find them fresher. I even had to harvest and winnow the yarrow while Mayche waited, in order to construct the first set.
There are 18 packets in all, packed in earth-friendly recycled paper and cellophane, under our colorful sprouting herbseeds logo: Astragalus, Holy Basil (Rama Tulsi), Gobo Burdock, Mixed Calendula, German Chamomile, Echinacea purpurea, Elecampane, Evening Primrose, Brown Flax, Lemon Balm, Marshmallow, Official Motherwort, Stinging Nettles, Cayenne Pepper, Garden Sage, Official Valerian, Wood Betony and Yarrow. Available to you barely over our cost. And, you don’t have to choose.
