My plants can heal a burn, bring spice to your life, relax you or simply entertain you.

Aloe Vera is known for it’s healing value, especially for cooks in the kitchen! As a redhead who sunburns, I have always appreciated the magic of aloe! My aloes have been cared for on the sunny window sills of my historic house and will love living at your house too!

There are many plants from nature that can bring simple pleasures to your kitchen. spicy oregano, tangy tarragon, bashful basil, wicked rosemary, sassy sage, relaxing lavender and sleepy lemon balm are just some of the urban herbs that grow in my sunny windows and mini green house.

New in my herb gardens for 2010, medicinal herbs. With the purchase of our farm in Adams county Ohio, I have 10 acres to experiment with plants Native Americans have known about forever. Angelica, black cohosh, devil's club, feverfew, chamomile, calendula, devils club, stevia to name a few.

Desert & Tropical plants are the perfect urban companion. They are also about the simplest entertainment you can discover! They thrive in any environment and are especially happy when you forget to water them! If you do care for them in the way they like, they will surprise you with a whimsical flower, a waterfall of foliage and color, an interesting growth pattern.

Mushrooms and raspberries! Our farm - Shagbark Farm, named after the Hickories, in particular the shagbark hickories that grow there is the perfect environment for raspberries. Gentle slope provide the air circulation needed to grow large sweet raspberries. The field we chose is surrounded by Tulip Poplars, one of the first trees to bloom in spring. The woodland setting already provides an abundance of mushrooms, we plan to study what is there and harvest what is most abundant. Our farm also promises hickory nuts and we are learning how to make what is already there, more plentiful. To date, we have introduced raspberries, medicinal herbs and asparagus.

Many of these items I offer as live plants, I also create market products that I take to local Farmer's Markets. I also offer all of these items to local food co-ops, if your co-op is interested contact us.
