Mish Mosh Herb & Flower Farm “Use plants to bring life.” – Douglas Wilson
My Lithuanian heritage and love for herbs, flowers and nature in general, led me to start my journey.

Caring for my family led me to search out more natural ways to heal.

Lemon balm helps to uplift us in times of grief, sadness, and depression, reminding us that a brighter future is possible. Enjoy some in your tea. Its smell, alone, is a great pick me up but its mood regulating compounds are what helps work its "magic".

Helicopters? Whirligigs? Samara? ALL 3! And they are delicious.
Yes, you can eat Maple seeds. After peeling the outer covering of the samara, you’ll find a pod containing the seeds. When they’re young and green, in spring, they’re said to be most tasty. Some info calls them a spring delicacy, as they normally fall early in that season. At this time, you can toss them raw into a salad or stir-fry with other young vegetables and sprouts.

Is wood sorrel the same as clover?
At first glance, you may mistake wood sorrel for some kind of clover (Trifolium spp.), but there's one glaring difference between these two that you'll notice right away if you're looking for it: wood sorrel has heart-shaped leaves, while the leaves of clovers are rounded.

If you are looking for an easy plant to forage, violets are a great choice. You can make wild violet vinegar from them and use it in various ways. For example, you can mix it with oil and herbs to make a vinaigrette or a marinade. You can also drink it as a tonic, by adding one teaspoon of the vinegar to a glass of water every day. If you have enough of it, you can treat yourself to a relaxing bath with half a cup of the violet vinegar. It will make your skin soft and smooth!

Violet vinegar has many benefits for your health and beauty. It can help with wasp stings, sunburns, and even as a hair rinse! If you want to use it on your hair, just dilute it with the same amount of water.

I am ready! The Year of the Dragon and me: For those born in the year of the Snake, this is your prep year! As a sign that embraces change, it is important to visualizing “where you’d like to be in 2025” as the Year of the Dragon “brings excitement” which has “many positive stars in your chart.”

Once you can visualize what you want the future to look like, then you’ll be able to “start taking the steps now to get you there.” You’ll also want to start getting ready for your Snake return year.
