Mid spring / Beltane — feeling beyond grateful for the beings that come into our life at the perfect times, the growth we have already experienced this season and the mistakes that we learn from. Grateful for the future harvests and abundance, and most importantly, the community we build along the way. In April, we sold 300+ plants to neighbors and friends, and I am forever honored to help feed the people and pollinators in our city. Announcements about summer, flowers, and market schedules to come!

a new growing season begins 🌿✨

as we move into 2026, the Toadstool apothecary is still flourishing; roots deep, jars full, magic intact. but this year, the focus turns gently toward flowers.

you’ll start seeing more seasonal stems, small-batch arrangements, and other botanical treats from us… and, come early Spring, you can find these blooms at — a sweet continuation of a collaboration that keeps unfolding.

Alongside herbs and flowers, you’ll still see my passion for foraging, growing food, and hands-on plant education woven through it all.

In equally exciting news, so grateful to be a new member of this season, alongside so many growers doing beautiful work in our city.

thank you for being here as this little toadstool continues to fruit. more soon. 🍄✨

(Featuring various projects in the works, including sprouts, pressed flowers, and the controlled chaos of my basement seed starting operation)

REISHI BABY!! Wow, the bounty of summer is coming in *hot* these last few weeks. It’s the time of year where I could be (have been) harvesting and processing for 12 hours a day and still not get everything done!

-I have TONS of fresh edible flowers available (DM me), which will be featured at ‘s event this Sunday!
All of these news flashes could have been there own posts but it’s harvest season and this farmer puts off Instagram for weeeeeeeks.

First foraging class in the books! Yesterday was awesome, I hung out with ~18 folks and talked a lot about just a few of the many edible and medicinal plants growing around us! We also covered basic safety & ethics around foraging. Foraging walks and wild plant ID is something I have been doing with friends for years but had never actually hosted a formal class, it was so cool to see the event sell out quickly and have so many folks interested in foraging! We ended the solstice with picking wine berries and it was absolutely lovely. (Insta cut out 2 people on either side of this group pic and I’m so sorry 😭) Keep an eye out for more classes in the coming weeks, and thank you SO much for the wonderful participants yesterday, y’all were a perfect first class 🍄🥰
Photo cred for pics 2 and 3 goes to , thank you so much for snapping!
