Welcome

to the place of the nurtured blooming.

 

Here health is born from the enthusiasm for spontaneous flora and other topics from the Portuguese rural environment.


I write about weeds,

encouraging wild nutrition and the overall culture of health through the use of medicinal plants, environmental education and the cultivation of forest patches.

 

I invite everyone to join me through the immersive events and projects I'm part of.

 

Hoping that the earth remains  a place of enchantment!

Teach the children. We don't matter so much, but the children do. Show them daisies and the pale hepatica. Teach them the taste of sassafras and wintergreen. The lives of the blue sailors, mallow, sunbursts, the moccasin flowers. And the frisky ones – inkberry, lamb's-quarters, blueberries. And the aromatic ones – rosemary, oregano. Give them peppermint to put in their pockets as they go to school. Give them the fields and the woods and the possibility of the world salvaged from the lords of profit. Stand them in the stream, head them upstream, rejoice as they learn to love this space they live in, its sticks and leaves and then the silent, beautiful blossoms.

Attention is the beginning of devotion.
