medicine gardens


gardens bring us beauty and lift our spirits-- they are medicine for the soul. many of the plants we have in our gardens are medicine for the body as well-- in the form of food (vegetables, fruits, greens, grains...), first aid (tinctures, poultices, salves...), other healthful preparations (teas, infusions, tonics, elixers, vinegars, beers, lotions, balms...) and much more (baskets, paper, dyes...)!

when you co-create a garden with ustya, you'll learn to grow the plants you already use in your daily life (most likely you're already accustomed to buying herbs, many of which you can be growing yourself), and learn about many new ones! you'll make more use of your garden by growing plants that are beautiful as well as edible and medicinal, and cut down on maintenance by learning how to use the precious weeds that are already volunteering themselves in your garden!
