Learn fascinating history, folk tales, traditions, and practical uses of each plant, drawing from cultures across Europe. You’ll receive dozens of recipes and other suggestions for making use of these plant friends.

Gardener’s note: Growing native species is so important for supporting and regenerating native insects, birds, and other wildlife. Like many plants found in American vegetable, flower, and herb gardens, the plants included in this box are non-native. I’m striving to fill at least 50% of our gardens with species native to our region of North America. I hope you’ll join me in prioritizing native plants in your garden space.
Note for alcohol-free friends: Educational booklet contains recipes and information involving alcohol consumption.
Returns & Refunds: I’m not able to accept returns. If the item hasn’t yet shipped, I may be able to offer a refund; feel free to reach out using the Contact page.
