Garden Walks
Welcome to Garden Walks
There's something special about taking a slow walk through a garden. Every plant has a story to tell—where it grows, how it has been used through history, and the role it can play in our lives today.
Here in Garden Walks, we invite you to explore the herbs, flowers, trees, and useful plants that inspire our homestead. Whether you're learning to identify a wild plant, growing herbs in your own backyard, or simply curious about traditional herbal knowledge, we hope these articles encourage you to look at the natural world a little differently.
Each Garden Walk includes:
🌿 Plant identification
🌱 Growing information
📜 History and folklore
🍵 Traditional herbal uses
🍽️ Culinary uses (when applicable)
⚠️ Safety information

Herbal Spotlights

Around the Homestead
Follow along as we share projects, experiments, gardening, soap making, livestock and everyday life on our homestead. Keeping the old ways alive and reimaging ways to use the old knowledge.
So grab a cup of tea, take a walk with us, and discover the remarkable plants growing all around us.
Happy walking, The Valley of Field Herbals Family
