Inside, you’ll find guidance on how to:
🌱 Use herbs and natural remedies for everyday wellness
🌸 Support hormones, energy, and natural rhythms
🥕 Nourish your gut and body from the ground up
🧠 Calm stress and support your nervous system
👨👩👧 Care for your family with gentle, holistic tools

The catch? It’s only available until January 10th.
After that, it’s gone.
Even in the winter months—when the garden is resting and many of us are planning what we’ll grow this year—zucchini is a crop worth thinking about. It’s one of the most prolific, fast-producing plants you can grow, and it’s also easy to find at farmers markets and grocery stores year-round, making it perfect for practicing simple garden-to-table skills now.
Watch this week’s video for a few of our favorite quick and easy zucchini recipes, including simple ways to enjoy it fresh or lightly pickled. It’s a fun way to get inspired for how you’ll use zucchini when your garden is overflowing later in the season.

Dear Arti:
Question: For microgreen growing, do you lay a layer of the coconut coir in the flat then the soil on top? I must have missed that in the beginning of the Magical Microgreen Event. – Kay W. Iowa
Answer: Hi Kay,
So, you’ll never use soil in a microgreen tray. You only use soil substrate. For home growing, you can use coconut or peat moss mixed with a bit of seedling or potting mix. For more consistent results, I recommend coconut coir or peat moss exclusively with liquid nutrients.
