If you're interested in herbalism or plant lore, chances are that you've perused a herbal or two in your time. Culpeper's Complete Herbal: A Compendium of Herbs and Their Uses, Annotated for Modern Herbalists, Healers, and Witches is a particularly well-known title, even if the contents have been surpassed with scientific advancements. Yet did you know that one of the most well-regarded herbals of the 18th century was created, and marketed, by a woman? And that she even got endorsements from the Royal College of Physicians for the book, used by apothecaries for decades? Let's go and meet Elizabeth Blackwell in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!

Send us Fan MailNate's on the road this week and Brian and I start off praising the glory of a good night's sleep. It's quite elusive these days, so we appreciate it even more. It can really work wonders.We also discovered Haas Euphorics and chat about those. Botanical extract meant to be added to finished beer. They've got blends to add a rounded tropical profile or just a single fruit note if that's your thing. We're not sure what brewers are using these, we'll have to do some digging.We just can't seem to get rid of James Watt. After the sale of BrewDog he's planning to open a new brewery called "Second Best." Is anyone excited for this? Sounds like he plans to give shares to the people that got the shaft in the Equity for Punks program. We'll begrudgingly follow this news to see where it goes.On a more positive note it sounds like there's been some activity at the Anchor Brewery. Not much to report now outside of speculation but local reported seeing contractors there for things like refrigeration work. We'll follow this news with much more interest.In other news scientists unearthed a 2,300 year old bottle of beer in pretty good shape for its age, Voodoo Brewing faces trouble but franchises should stay open, proof that Nubians drank antibiotic beer, and your Blue Moon is gonna get even more blue, temporarily.Thanks for listening to Beer Guys Radio!  Your hosts are Tim Dennis and Brian Hewitt with producer Nate "Mo' Mic Nate" Ellingson and occasional appearances from Becky Smalls.Subscribe to Beer Guys Radio on your favorite app: Apple Podcasts | Google Podcasts | Spotify | Stitcher  | RSSFollow Beer Guys Radio: Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube If you enjoy the show we'd appreciate your support on Patreon.  Patrons get cool perks like early, commercial-free episodes, swag, access to our exclusive Discord server, and more!

Joey Kirkpatrick and Flora C. Mace consistently invite us to enter a meditative state. Whatever the medium, each piece seems to raise more questions than provide answers. The artists, respected for their innovative work, have concluded the series for which they are most known, large-scale blown glass fruit and vegetable forms. Their subsequent work includes life-size figurative wood and glass sculptures as well as outdoor bronze installations and glass work that features blown vessels and cast panels with illustrations of the 'first facts' of bird identification realized through applied glass powder drawings. Most recently, the artists have been working on their Botanicals, a body of work that preserves real flowers in composite and glass.  Kirkpatrick and Mace have worked collaboratively for the past 47 years after meeting at the Pilchuck Glass School in 1979. The artists have consistently explored seminal themes: principles of drawing as incorporated into glass, the metaphoric content of human relationship to nature and the appropriation of materials to support a visual idea. They recently installed a large public art project at the Seattle Center in Seattle, Washington.  Kirkpatrick (born in Des Moines, Iowa, 1952) and Mace (born in Exeter, New Hampshire, 1949) have exhibited, lectured and taught extensively throughout the world. They taught for 12 years at Pilchuck Glass School. Their collaborative work is included in collections and museums around the world including the Corning Museum of Glass, NY; The Detroit Institute of Art Detroit, MI; The Boston Museum of Fine Art, Boston, MA; Hokkaido Museum, Japan; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York NY; Musee des Arts Decoratifs, Lausanne, Switzerland; Seattle Art Museum, Seattle, WA; Toledo Art Museum, Toledo, OH and The National Museum of American Art, Renwick Gallery, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.  Mark Doty, wrote in the introduction of the book, Joey Kirkpatrick and Flora C Mace: "This might be the most complex yoking of all, the way that two sensibilities overlap, merge, separate, conflict and resolve. A continuing dynamic, itself both unstable and solid, evolving, transforming materials and processes as it transforms itself." Kirkpatrick and Mace were recognized in 2019 for their outstanding achievement in the field of contemporary glass art by the Art Alliance for Contemporary Glass, and have been elected to the American Craft Fellows in 2005, interviewed for the Smithsonian Archives of American Art in 2006 and given the 2001 Chateau Ste. Michelle Libensky Award by Pilchuck Glass School honoring outstanding contemporary artists working in glass. Kirkpatrick served as a trustee on the board of Pilchuck Glass School for 16 years.  Now, the artists split their time between a home and studio in Seattle, Washington, and a farm on the Olympic Peninsula near the Washington Coast. Their current Botanical sculptures grew out of a desire to capture the essence of a plant by preserving it through portraiture. Each plant is harvested as it shares its bloom, brought into the studio, deconstructed, dried and reassembled. The specimen is then suspended within layers of composites and glass. The finished work has been recreated through the artist's hand and dependent on the artist's view of the specimen by observing in life, the plant's structure, the result, a portrait of a flower. Of their Botanical sculpture, Daniel J. Hinkley, plantsman wrote: "The works of Joey Kirkpatrick and Flora C. Mace capture the improbable if not the impossible, the apprehension of not just a moment reflecting the magic and majesty of our natural world but the abduction and amplification of a precise moment of perfection. To say that the paragon of their subjects has been frozen in time implies incorrectly that what you observe in their work is not simply an expiration and preservation of a plant at its floral zenith. These flowers embody the mystery and beauty, comprehended and embraced by the artists, to such a degree that one might actually perceive its ultimate drop of petal, abscission of leaf or growth of root." A selection of Kirkpatrick and Mace works is also on view now at the Corning Museum of Glass, Corning, New York, in Tough Stuff: Women in the American Glass Studio. The exhibition showcases the groundbreaking creators who shaped the past and future of glass art.   

In the 17th century, Descartes, Galileo, and Newton transformed a living world into mechanical clockwork. Descartes drew the fatal line between mind and matter, rendering everything beyond the thinking self inert and available for measurement. This lens birthed science and medicine, but cost us what Goethean scientist Craig Holdrege calls living thinking - thought that is responsive, relational, and shaped by what it encounters.Goethe knew perception isn't passive: to truly see a plant, you must let it work on you. Through Domei's sustained attention, observer and observed dissolve into a meeting of subjects.This Episode Is Brought To You ByRobin HarfordTranscriptsThis episodeStay In TouchWebsite | Youtube | Instagram | FacebookFree NewslettersDomeiEatweedsBooksEdible and Medicinal Wild Plants of Britain and IrelandForage In SpringForage In SummerForage in AutumnThe Eatweeds CookbookCourses30 Days of Domei Plant PracticesMindful In NatureThe Green Path

Kaatscast walks a stretch of the Finger Lakes Trail in Delaware Wild Forest with Heather Houskeeper — herbalist, long-distance hiker, author, and founder of the School of Plant and Place Connection — to talk about foraging, plant medicine, and what it means to truly belong in a landscape.Along the trail, Heather identifies edible and medicinal plants including garlic mustard, jewelweed, and dandelion, and explains how to approach foraging safely, ethically, and with a spirit of reciprocity. She also shares how a post-thru-hike sense of helplessness in the woods sent her to herbal medicine school, how she built a career around botanical hiking, and why she believes our innate knowledge of the plant world isn't quite lost — maybe just dormant.Find Heather at thebotanicalhiker.com and schoolofplantandplaceconnection.com.

Chris Holland has spent over three decades helping people - young and old - find their way back to the natural world. In this warmly personal conversation, Robin and Chris reflect on the threads that have woven their lives together: a shared love of plants, the legacy of plant mentor Frank Cook, and the quiet revolution taking place in nature connection education.Chris is the author of I Love My World, widely regarded as the unofficial Forest School manual, and the founder of Natural Musicians. A practice that democratises music-making in wild places, inviting children and families to listen deeply and celebrate landscape through sound. His work sits at the intersection of nature pedagogy, John Young's Eight Shields framework, and a profound belief that connection to the other-than-human world is not a luxury, it is a necessity.They explore how children learn differently when handed a stick and a stone instead of a worksheet, why making music in a stone circle might change the listener more than the landscape, and what it means to truly stay — with a plant, with discomfort, with belonging.For educators, parents, and anyone who has ever felt the pull of a hedgerow, this episode is a quiet reminder that the wild is always closer than we think.This Episode Is Brought To You ByRobin HarfordTranscriptsThis episodeConnect with Chris HollandWebsite | Youtube | Instagram | Facebook | LinkedInBooksI Love My WorldPlant Of The WeekSharing Nature With ChildrenThe Heat Will Kill You FirstCoursesNatural MusiciansPeople, Places and Things Mentioned On The ShowBuzzard YurtKingfisher YurtCity of Bath Roman BathsFluxus Art MovementFrank CookNew Age FraudPam HortonPauline OliverosSandor KatzSchumacher CollegeTrill On The HillRelated Resources30 Days of DomeiDomei Newsletter

"For the beautiful Section 4 of Flow, I wanted to celebrate the rewilding projects that took place between 2016 and 2022 under the LIFE Lech “Dynamic River System Lech” at Elmen-Nussau and Vorderhornbach."I was immediately inspired by the photo of the sound being recorded at the bridge. Imagining being in that moment, overlooking the meandering turquoise braids of water, the gravel beds and the dark green forests and wondering what the ecology of this area would be like and that I'd need to hike here one day. So I wanted to bring together an ecological sonic landscape."The river is played using a rainwater-filled glass harp, guided by the geomorphic imagery. Using a recurring motion of playing the top of a wine glass, I wanted to embody the water movement of the River Lech. Moving not as a straight line but more in swirls, spirals and circles, flowing left and right."Varying the level of rainwater in each glass created a scale of resonating frequencies that formed individual braids of the river. I found joy in playing the glasses in the imagery of this section of the River Lech. Occasionally, using a particular resistance when playing the glass to give a sense of friction against the gravel beds and under the bridges, sometimes slowing the pace of the river down afterwards."I used the field recording of the river to create artistic interpretations of ten animal vocalisations from birds, amphibians, fish, and insects. By selecting out the matching spectral vocal range of these species. Many of which were on the LIFE Lech's target list."A low D whistle creates the feel of a riparian forest. Researching the rewilding projects, I discovered the number of important plants in the area, such as Dwarf Bullrush and German Tamarisk, and that, in the summer months, over 6,000 Lady's-slipper Orchids inhabit the forest on the upper left side of this section of the river. Botanical drawings of these plants were turned into sonic spectrograms, which were blended into the piece."At the Elmen-Nussau location, 10 groynes on the left riverbank were shortened by a total of 280 m. Included as 10 slightly intrusive faded notes panned to the left at their rough positioning of where they once sat on the riverbed, before the first rewilding melody of the piece."At the Vorderhornbach location, Linear and cross constructions were shortened or removed over a 2 km length on both banks. A particularly forested section, here I have made this section of the piece fuller and wilder before the sounding of the “Hornbach” tributary line, which joins the River Lech, moves us into the melody for the second time."I loved the idea of connection with other parts of the river, with the river being an important corridor between different habitats. I incorporated 6 seconds of a sound bite called 'Dusty Stem' that Bill McKenna kindly donated from section 1. I have taken the sound bite down by 3 semitones, imagining it carried down the river through sections 2 and 3, and into 4."Section of the river Lech reimagined by Rachel Larsen-Jones. -------Flow is a creative exploration telling the story of a river through the power of sound. The project is a collaboration between the University of Padova and the University of Würzburg, with support from Cities and Memory. Explore the full project at https://citiesandmemory.com/flow.

Robin Harford meets storyteller Clare Viner beneath a flowering hawthorn tree in Devon to explore the living tradition of oral storytelling.Clare shares how stories belong to everyone - not fixed texts handed down by celibate monks, but breathing, evolving things shaped by the teller's felt sense and relationship with land.They discuss how patriarchy silenced women's stories, how rivers and plants carry their own narratives, and why giving yourself permission to tell an imperfect story is a radical act.The episode closes with Clare's spellbinding retelling of Merlin and the Lady Nimue - a love story rooted in hawthorn, heart medicine, and the dreaming earth.About Clare VinerClare Viner has been a storyteller for 26 years.Her roots are personal. As a child, her grandfather wove fairy tales for her.

Uncover the fascinating intersection of nature and justice as experts utilize plant DNA and wood morphology to solve high-stakes criminal investigations. This episode explores the groundbreaking techniques used to identify botanical evidence, proving that even a single leaf can hold the key to a conviction. Perfect for fans of true crime, forensic science, and environmental biology, this deep dive reveals how the natural world serves as the ultimate silent witness.

In the world of covert ops, "Leaving No Trace" is the ultimate goal—but the environment is a persistent snitch. This episode explores the tradecraft of Palynology (the study of pollen) as a tool for tracking movement across international borders. We discuss how a specific microscopic spore on a shoe can reveal exactly where an operative has been, even if they've burned their passport. From the "Yellow Rain" mysteries of the Cold War to modern-day geolocation via plant DNA, we reveal why the "Greenery" is the ultimate counter-surveillance tool.

In this episode, we explore botanical forensics through the compelling concept of the “Guilty Tree,” where plant growth rings and microscopic pollen grains serve as silent witnesses in long-cold criminal cases. Dendrochronology and palynology allow investigators to pinpoint burial sites and timelines with remarkable precision, even decades after a crime. The discussion highlights how these natural records provide objective, tamper-resistant evidence that has solved cases where traditional forensic methods failed.

The South American coca plant was established in 19th-century Britain as a medical product before it became a globally restricted drug. Drawing on botanical, economic, pharmaceutical, social, and political perspectives, in Coca and the Victorians: From Botanical Curiosity to Regulated Drug, 1835–1912 (Transcript Publishing, 2025), Dr. Kim Embrey analyses how the use and perception of coca changed as it was transferred to Europe. In a process of cultural dissimilation, coca was not simply adopted, but embedded into new medical, social, and scientific contexts. The study shows how a plant from the Andes was repositioned in British modernity. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Jens Stoelken - founder - Ceremony Botanical Brews & co founder of The Many Jens Stoelken is the founder of Ceremony Botanical Brewing, a recently launched independent beverage brand based in Austin, Texas. Professional Background & Inspiration Heritage: Stoelken grew up in Germany, where he developed a deep appreciation for the cultural significance and heritage of beer. Japan Influence: In 2024, while traveling in Japan, he encountered a matcha beer at the Kyoto Brewing Company. This sparked the idea that botanicals could serve as the primary foundation for a new category of brewing, rather than just being used as a flavoring additive. The Concept: He returned to Austin to develop "Botanical Brewing," a category that treats botanicals as the "architect" of the drink. This involves building the entire recipe—balance, aroma, and structure—around the natural character of a specific plant. Current Venture: Ceremony Botanical Brewing

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Mark Blumenthal, founder and executive director of the American Botanical Council (ABC).

Herbal Medicine, Quality Control, and Adulteration Prevention: Mark Blumenthal, founder and executive director of the American Botanical Council (ABC), recounts his entry into herbalism via vegetarianism in 1968, off-grid living, and starting a wholesale herb business in 1974 before shifting to nonprofit education, research, advocacy, and quality control. The discussion covers the evolution from teas and tinctures to standardized extracts, the complexity and synergy of multiple constituents, and how standardization supports quality control and therapeutic consistency. Blumenthal explains ABC's Botanical Adulterants Prevention Program and its free, peer-reviewed resources addressing global fraud, plus GMP requirements and laboratory methods for identity, contamination, and potency testing. He discusses herbs including ashwagandha, turmeric/curcumin and adulteration risks, maca, nigella, and milk thistle, and outlines ABC resources, HerbClip, and membership options at herbalgram.org.

This month on Down the Garden Path, Joanne welcomes five talented landscape designers, each with their own style, story, and specialty. What connects them all is a shared passion for creating beautiful, thoughtful outdoor spaces for their clients. Tune in each week in March as they share their experiences, perspectives, and the many ways landscape design can shape how we live outdoors. In this episode, Joanne speaks with Abby Rupsa, founder and lead designer of Botanical Living in Colorado, about her path into landscape design, the evolution of her "design bid" service model, and what it really means to offer a high-touch, client-focused experience. Their conversation explores the value of professional planning, collaboration with contractors, material and plant choices, and how thoughtful landscape design can create beautiful, functional outdoor spaces that add lasting value. Topics Covered Abby explains her "design bid" model, in which she stays involved throughout construction without doing the installation work herself. She says many homeowners do not understand the design process and need help seeing the full picture. Unlike traditional design-build firms, Abby focuses on the best outcome for the client rather than pushing sales. She emphasizes "value engineering" so projects can be built realistically within budget. Abby now works closely with one trusted contractor to create a smoother client experience. Contractor meetings happen with the client, designer, and builder together to review the estimate in detail. Joanne notes that this shared meeting format reduces confusion and speeds up decisions. Abby says landscape designers are educators and problem-solvers, not just creatives. She explains that homeowners often become blind to problems and miss better possibilities for their yard. One project revealed major structural problems that required a more honest renovation approach. Abby says trust and authority matter because clients need confidence in the guidance they receive. Good design sometimes means challenging what a client asks for to create a space that truly works. Abby uses software and furniture layouts to show how a space will function in real life. Joanne stresses the importance of planning the whole landscape before adding features in stages. Abby agrees, noting that early planning avoids rework and prepares for future additions. She describes her "white glove" approach, with 3D presentations and a more thoughtful client experience. Abby wants the process to feel easier and more supported for homeowners. She uses digital lookbooks and physical samples to help clients compare materials. 3D visuals help clients picture the finished landscape and feel excited about the result. Abby discusses xeriscaping in Colorado and the need for drought-tolerant, climate-appropriate planting. She explains that xeriscaping should still feel lush and intentional, not just rocky and sparse. Her planting designs balance structure, blooms, texture, evergreen interest, and lower maintenance. Abby also educates clients about plant establishment and care in Colorado's dry climate. Her design packages are detailed enough for any contractor to build from. She notes that 3D renderings require clear communication so clients understand that plant growth takes time. Even unbuilt landscape plans can add appeal and value if a homeowner decides to sell. Joanne and Abby close by discussing how landscape design can improve both lifestyle and property value. Takeaways and Tips Start with a full landscape plan before making construction decisions so the entire space works together cohesively over time. A good landscape designer does more than make things look pretty. They solve problems, educate clients, and help prevent costly mistakes. Design decisions should be based on how a space will actually function, not just on what sounds good in theory or looks fine on paper. Bringing the designer, contractor, and client together early can improve communication, speed up decision-making, and create more realistic budgets. Value engineering is not about cutting corners. It is about spending wisely and making strategic adjustments that protect the integrity of the design. In dry climates, xeriscaping should focus on smart plant choices and water stewardship, not simply replacing everything with rock. 3D renderings can be powerful tools, but homeowners should understand that mature landscapes take time to grow into the vision shown. Investing in professional landscape design can improve not only daily enjoyment and function, but also long-term property value.

Show Notes: Understanding DomeiThis episode explores Domei, a contemplative practice designed to bridge the gap between humans and the living world through sensory engagement and "deep listening."Domei ResourcesThe official Domei website30 Days of Domei: A Month of Botanical AttentionKey TakeawaysThe Origin of Domei: A neologism blending the Gaelic roots Domhain (deep) and Éist (listen).Beyond the Ears: Listening is defined as a whole-body experience—feeling into the environment rather than just hearing sound.A Shift in Perspective: The practice moves the participant from seeing nature as "scenery" to recognizing plants as "neighbors" and fellow beings.De-emphasizing Analysis: Domei encourages "wordless knowing," where the goal is to be with a plant without the need to identify, categorize, or extract information from it.The Practice: How to EngageThe core of the practice is rooted in voluntary, unhurried attention.Find a Plant: Locate a living thing, even just beyond your doorstep.Quiet the Mind: Move away from analytical thinking and botanical classification.Physical Awareness: Notice how the presence of the plant affects your own body—your breathing, your balance, and the weight of your feet on the ground.Sit in Companionship: Spend as little as five minutes simply being present with the organism.Philosophical FoundationsDomei draws from centuries of Western contemplative traditions. It suggests that humans possess an internal "sensory map" and guidance system that is revealed once they slow down enough to receive natural signals. Ultimately, it is a path toward realizing a lack of separation from the earth."Domei is not only a practice. It is a way of being."

Psychiatrist, internist, and addiction medicine specialist Muhamad Aly Rifai discusses his article "Unregulated botanical products: the hidden risks of convenience store supplements." Muhamad explores the dangerous misconception that "natural" equals safe, revealing how consumers unknowingly ingest substances with opioid-like effects sold as wellness products. He highlights the conflict between Americans' fear of addiction and their trust in sleek, unregulated marketing that promises relief without consequences. The conversation examines the regulatory mixed signals and the critical need for clinicians to screen for these products during visits. Muhamad advocates for intellectual honesty in medicine and clearer governance to protect families from the spiral of dependence.

Deborah Goodrich Royce, author of literary psychological thrillers and a former actor, unpacks how she builds tension without forcing the outline. You will hear how sensory observation from her New York Botanical Garden work feeds scene-level detail, why she prefers a "reveal" that feels earned over a twist that feels gimmicky, and how an actor's training translates into characters with layered motives and believable self-deception. What you will learn How to pace a psychological thriller so the reader feels pulled forward, not pushed. Character-first plotting: letting voice, backstory, and contradictions shape the turns. Designing "good reveals" and planting signals that pay off cleanly later. Key topics Botanical observation as a storytelling skill (attention, pattern, detail). Character development through lived experience and emotional memory. Organic plot development: earning twists through setup, not shock value.

Love can wait—confidence can't. We're taking Valentine's and turning it into a catalyst for self-trust with twelve solo date ideas that make everyday life richer and future solo travel feel natural. Cheryl shares simple, doable outings that help you practice listening to yourself, choosing your own pace, and finding joy without waiting for company.We start small with cozy cafes and bookstore dates that teach presence and comfort in public spaces. Then we stretch into museums and galleries where you can follow your curiosity without compromise. Thrifting and farmers markets add playful exploration and sensory delight, while inner child activities—like skating, doodling, or a leisurely bike ride—bring back lightness adults often forget. Nature gets a highlight with new parks and trails that build planning skills and resilience, and we balance it with restorative self-care through a spa day that tells your body it matters, no excuse needed.You'll also hear how classes and workshops become low-pressure ways to meet people while learning a skill, why a cooking class can become a confidence anchor you repeat at home, and how being a tourist in your own town trains the exact logistics you'll use abroad. Botanical gardens invite deep attention and seasonal timing, and a vision board night turns fuzzy goals into a daily, visual nudge toward action. By the end, you'll see solo dates not as a consolation prize, but as training reps for independence, joy, and the courage to book that trip.If this resonated, tap follow, share with a friend who needs a nudge, and leave a quick review telling us which solo date you'll try first. Your story might spark someone else's leap.Support the showhttps://www.cherylbeckesch.com hello@cherylbeckesch.com Instagram @solotraveladventures50
