Come and revisit this episode with one of our favourites. We're going all the way back to episode 16 with herbalist, forager, gardener, tea curator and drinker and author, Caroline Parker!During this chat, we get a sense of Caroline's deep love and connection with plants and her joy at helping share that love with others. Since our chat, Caroline has released her book- The Medicinal Garden- which is the most beautiful educational companion for helping us to connect with the healing power of herbs. In her book and during this episode, Caroline shows us how the sowing and growing of herbs can be the beginning of the healing journey, which continues as we gather leaves, flowers and roots for tea, to elevate our meals and for medicine.**CONNECT**You can connect with CAROLINE and nab yourself a copy of her book via her  website The Cottage Herbalist or stay in touch via instagram here.You can connect with JESS via instagram and facebook here and here,  join her newsletter community here, buy her handmade herbal products here or book an appointment here.**BUY ME A CUPPA**If you liked the episode and want more, a cuppa fuels my work and time, which is given for free.
