This is Plantago lanceolata. Ribwort plantain. Spitzwegerich. L’herba de cinc-costures.⁣
⁣
One of the most overlooked plants in the world. It grows everywhere — roadsides, meadows, cracks in the pavement. And precisely because of that, nobody sees it.⁣
⁣
Used for centuries as medicine — anti-inflammatory, wound-healing, expectorant. One of the nine sacred herbs of the Anglo-Saxon tradition. A plant that has been with us, quietly, for thousands of years.⁣
⁣
We step over it every day.⁣
⁣
When did you last stop to look at it?⁣

Mindfulness, bee edition

This is Amelanchier arborea. The serviceberry. The shadbush. June berry. Saskatoon.⁣
⁣
A tree with many names — each one a clue to how deeply embedded it is in the lives of those who live alongside it. It blooms when the ground thaws. A sign, for centuries, that easier times are coming.⁣
⁣
Robin Wall Kimmerer places this tree at the centre of everything in her book The Serviceberry — a web connecting fungi, plants, insects, birds, animals and people. A gift economy where nothing is hoarded and everything keeps moving.⁣
⁣
The berries are a gift to the birds. The birds carry the seeds. The seeds become trees. The trees offer berries again.⁣
⁣
“The currency is relationship, expressed as gratitude.”⁣
⁣
We photographed this portrait and offered it here. Consider it part of the same economy.⁣
⁣
Have you read The Serviceberry?⁣

Avui és Sant Jordi. Roses i llibres. ⁣
⁣
L’Axel m’ha enviat la primera rosa que comença a florir al nostre roser. Jo he pogut passejar pel meu poble per comprar roses i llibres a la meva família.⁣
⁣
Robin Wall Kimmerer ens recorda que hi ha coses que la terra ofereix sense que les hàgim guanyat, pagat ni merescut. La bellesa d’una rosa. El cant d’un ocell. Una tarda de primavera.⁣
⁣
“En podríeu dir recursos naturals o serveis d’ecosistema. Els pit-roigs i jo les coneixem com a regals.” — Robin Wall Kimmerer, Els fruits generosos⁣
⁣
Gràcies a l’editorial per portar-nos sempre les lectures imprescindibles de la Robin Wall Kimmerer.⁣
⁣
Bona diada de Sant Jordi!⁣

This is Symphytum officinale. Comfrey. Echte Beinwell. Consolda.⁣
⁣
A plant that heals. One of the oldest medicinal herbs in European tradition — used for centuries to treat wounds, inflammation and broken bones. Its name says it all: symphytum, from the Greek, to unite, to make whole.⁣
⁣
It appears in Hamnet. Agnes would have known it well.⁣
⁣
Today is Earth Day. A good day to stop and look at what the earth has been quietly offering us all along.⁣
⁣
Have you ever used comfrey?⁣

This is Allium ursinum. Wild garlic. Bärlauch. All silvestre.⁣
We forage the leaves, before the flower comes. But we photograph the bloom.⁣
Two ways of looking at the same life.⁣
⁣
Have you ever foraged it?⁣

Allium ursinum · Bärlauch⁣
⁣
In Germany, spring arrives twice. Once in the calendar. Once in the forest, when the wild garlic covers the ground.⁣
⁣
Allium ursinum — known here as Bärlauch, bear’s garlic — carpets the forest floor for just a few weeks each year. Foraged, cooked, celebrated. A seasonal ritual for many in Central Europe.⁣
⁣
Elsewhere, it goes almost unnoticed.⁣
⁣
Rich in vitamin C, iron, potassium and sulphurous compounds with powerful properties — a plant that heals, feeds and transforms a landscape all at once. And then disappears, until next spring.⁣
⁣
We walked into the forest and found the ground covered in it. We stopped. We looked. We collected, carefully.⁣
⁣
This is what we do.⁣
