When compared to the brown and grey of the early spring forest, hepatica flowers almost don't look real. 😍 #springephemerals #hepatica #ontariowildflowers #trailmaintenance #cambridgeontario (at The rare Charitable Research Reserve) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwpitdWHN_i/?igshid=1gmyg188je7je

Always working our way through the day while feeling the weight of stress, anxiety, fear and worry. Adaptogens build you up & push you through these times, all while letting those pressures fall away. Let the plants help you. They remember things that we have forgotten. In this class, you will get to know Schisandra, Rhodiola Rosea, Ashwaganda, Eleuthero, & Tusli #smugtownmushrooms #mycology #herbal #niagara #buffalo #mushrooms #adaptogens #singerfarms
