  1. Heather Wood Buzzard: Weedy Herbalism from Herb Mentor Radio, opens in a new tab

    Aug 26, 2026

    This month on HerbMentor Radio, Kimberly Gallagher and Mimi Prunella welcome Appalachian herbalist, storyteller, and educator Heather Wood Buzzard for a delightful conversation celebrating the remarkable plants many people overlook. Together, they explore the world of weedy herbalism, where common plants become nourishing foods, trusted medicines, and lifelong teachers. Heather shares the story of her unconventional introduction to herbalism, digging dandelion roots for dollars as a young wildcrafter, and reflects on the lessons those humble weeds taught her about perseverance, humility, and the value hidden in ordinary places. Her love of storytelling shines throughout the episode as she weaves together childhood memories, Appalachian traditions, and the healing power of narrative herbalism. The conversation also celebrates Heather and Mimi's collaboration on National Geographic Backyard Guide to Edible Wild Plants , exploring why learning the abundant plants growing close to home is one of the best ways to begin a relationship with wild foods and medicines. Together they share favorite edible plants, laugh about organizing a field guide around plant parts, and reflect on how much they learned from one another during the writing process. Listeners will also hear Heather's unforgettable childhood memory of discovering a sprawling patch of wild passionfruit, learn why daylilies deserve a place at the table, and discover the surprising appeal of a hearty bowl of cream of weeds soup. Along the way, Heather offers thoughtful reflections on how wildcrafting teaches mindfulness, observation, and restraint, reminding us that gathering plants is as much about relationship as it is about harvest. In this episode, we explore: Digging dandelions for dollars and the lessons they teach Why common weeds often become an herbalist's greatest teachers Beginning wildcrafting with abundant backyard plants The making of National Geographic Backyard Guide to Edible Wild Plants Daylilies as an abundant and delicious edible plant Childhood memories of discovering wild passionfruit Narrative herbalism and the healing power of stories Heather's upcoming books on wildcrafting and narrative herbal medicine Discover More Follow Heather: @plantsandstory Website: https://www.heatherwoodbuzzard.com National Geographic Backyard Guide to Edible Wild Plants: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/770136/national-geographic-backyard-guide-to-edible-wild-plants-by-mimi-prunella-hernandez-and-heather-wood-buzzard/ Are you ready to take your herbal learning to the next level?

  3. Brandon Ruiz: Garden Herbalism from Herb Mentor Radio, opens in a new tab

    Jul 22, 2026

    Joining us is Brandon Ruiz, a community herbalist, educator, urban farmer, and author whose work beautifully weaves together gardening, foraging, culture, and community. Brandon shares how gardens become places where relationships grow, not only between people and plants, but between generations, neighborhoods, and cultural traditions. Brandon takes us on a heartfelt journey to his grandparents' land in Puerto Rico, where the sights, scents, and medicinal plants of his childhood first inspired his love of herbalism. Today, he returns to that same land not only to reconnect with his roots, but to inspire the generations who first nurtured his curiosity. The conversation also explores Brandon's transition to Philadelphia and his work with the Norris Square Neighborhood Project, where gardens serve as living classrooms that bring together children, elders, food traditions, public art, and Puerto Rican culture. Through community gardening, Brandon demonstrates how cultivating plants can also cultivate belonging, memory, and connection. Tulsi takes center stage as this month's anchor herb, becoming a beautiful example of how one fragrant plant can invite curiosity and open the door to deeper relationships with herbalism. Brandon shares why tulsi so often becomes a gateway plant, drawing people into the garden through its aroma before leading them toward the broader enchantment of medicinal plants. We also celebrate Brandon's new book, How to Forage for Medicinal Plants Without Dying , and discuss how confidence, intention, and responsible stewardship can help transform fear into meaningful relationships with the plants growing all around us. In this episode, we explore: Garden herbalism as a practice of relationship, stewardship, and community Childhood memories and ancestral plant traditions from Puerto Rico How gardens preserve culture, identity, and belonging across generations Brandon's work with the Norris Square Neighborhood Project in Philadelphia Tulsi as an inviting gateway into herbalism and the magic of the garden Bridging gardening and foraging through thoughtful cultivation and stewardship Setting intention before harvesting medicinal plants Building confidence for beginning foragers Brandon's new book, How to Forage for Medicinal Plants Without Dying You can find Brandon @yucayekefarms.

Rather than using herbs, Mary speaks of working alongside them. It is not about how many herbs we collect, but how deeply we know them. She shares how journaling, observation, and working with plants across their many forms help build true relationship. And she brings us to violet, a plant of remarkable versatility and quiet beauty.

    Mar 25, 2026

    In this episode of HerbMentor Radio, we begin our journey through National Geographic Herbal with the chapter that opens the entire path: Sensory Herbalism. To guide us into this deeply relational way of knowing plants, we are joined by Kat Maier, author of Energetic Herbalism and founder of Sacred Plant Traditions . Kat has spent decades helping students and practitioners understand the energetic language of plants, not just through theory, but through direct sensory experience. Together, we explore what it truly means to be in relationship with plants through the senses. Kat helps us understand that energetic herbalism is, at its heart, the study of patterns. This awareness allows us to more skillfully match people and plants in clinical and everyday practice. We also spend time with marshmallow root ( Althaea officinalis ) as a sensory teacher. Through taste and direct experience, marshmallow reveals its signature moistening softness and quiet strength, offering a clear example of how energetic qualities can be felt in the body, not just studied in books. Throughout the episode, we return to a central theme: sensory herbalism is relational herbalism. Every culture has cultivated ways of knowing plants through the senses.
