In Book 2, Penny opens the gate to her herb garden. Follow a tiny seed's whole journey -- choosing and waking the seeds, drawing the garden map, building raised beds layer by layer, welcoming the Martin birds back in spring, and tending every plant with care until harvest.
Then meet each herb by name -- rosemary, sage, basil, mint, thyme, and more --every one with its own picture and its own God-given purpose in the old-time ways of healing. Penny also shares the humble treasures hiding in your own yard, from dandelion and plantain to the white pine. And at the end, the garden comes full circle, as her herbs are infused into tallow balms and soaps, just as the recipes call for.
Woven through it all is a reminder Penny holds dear: like a seed, we can always begin again -- and grow into someone new. Includes Penny's own word of care on using home remedies wisely.
