Community Herbalism Part 2 | Featuring Rosemary Gladstar (Vault Release)

While the Herbal Radio team is away on summer break, we’re opening up the vault to share part two of a special excerpt from our very first Free Herbalism Project! Originally recorded all the way back in 2013, this episode features the one-and-only "Godmother of American Herbalism," author, and educator, Rosemary Gladstar.

Join us as Rosemary continues to share wisdom from her presentation on:

  • Advocacy in herbalism: being a voice for the plants
  • Amplifying individual and collective voices in the herbalism community
  • United Plant Savers: Species At-Risk Assessment Tool
  • Animal testing in the natural products industry
  • Healthcare resiliency within our communities

As always, we thank you for joining us on another botanical adventure and are so honored to have you tag along with us on this ride. Remember, we want to hear from you! Your questions, ideas, and who you want to hear from are an invaluable piece to our podcast. Email us at podcast@mountainroseherbs.com or reach out on Instagram @herbal.radio to let us know what solutions we should uncover next within the vast world of herbalism.
