The 2026 herbal almanac is amazing 🥰
Okay, so I have to share my latest obsession – the 2026 Ancestral Herbal Almanac! I initially got a seed kit from LUSH&DEW, and then they sent me this almanac, and I'm totally blown away. For anyone who's ever thought, "I wanna grow my own herbs but have no clue where to start," this book is an absolute must-have. What makes it so amazing? First off, it's incredibly practical. It includes detailed troubleshooting guides, which are a lifesaver for new gardeners. It covers everything from periodic thinning to prevent overgrowth to understanding the Growth Habit of each plant. The best part? It’s tailored to every planting zone, so you know exactly what will thrive in your garden. I love how it breaks down exactly what each herb does, along with any precautions you need to take. It’s super thoughtful stuff that makes you feel confident about cultivating your own natural remedies. I've always been fascinated by herbalism, and this almanac has really helped me dive deeper. It’s not just about growing; it also shows you how to make your own tinctures! I've already nailed a few recipes, like a soothing Chamomile tincture for relaxation and a Motherwort extract, which has been incredibly useful. It even touches on how herbs can be used for common issues, like natural approaches for skin irritations. It's truly empowering to learn how to create these remedies at home. And for those of you who, like me, are into moon gardening and herbalism, you'll love this: it includes specific moon rituals and planting advice based on lunar cycles, like the Full Pink Moon in mid-April. It’s such a beautiful way to connect with nature and enhance your gardening practice. This almanac really feels like having a wise herbalist friend guiding you every step of the way. If you're looking to expand your knowledge, create your own apothecary, or just get started with growing herbs, you absolutely need to check it out. You can even find herb seeds for sale at the LUSH&DEW shop, which is super convenient!
