**Rosemary Gladstar** has been practicing, living, learning, teaching and writing about herbs for over 50 years. She is the author of twelve books including *Medicinal Herbs; a Beginners Guide, Herbal Healing for Women, Herbal Recipes for Vibrant Well Being* and her most recent book, *[The Generosity of Plants](https://scienceandartofherbalism.com/product/the-generosity-of-plants/)*. She is also the author and director of the popular home study course, *[The Science and Art of Herbalism](https://scienceandartofherbalism.com/).* Rosemary co-founded and was the former director of both The International Herb Symposium and The New England Women’s Herbal Conference, is the Founding President of [United Plant Savers](https://unitedplantsavers.org/), and was the co-founder and original formulator of Traditional Medicinal Tea Company. She recently moved from her home at [Sage Mountain](http://www.sagemountain.com/)— an Herbal Retreat Center and Botanical Sanctuary where she has lived, taught and worked for the past 30 years— to a smaller haven where she plans to plant a small garden, dream more, do less, and spend more time with the plants.

Listen in as Rosemary and Jiling discuss some of the quotes and themes from *[The Generosity of Plants](https://scienceandartofherbalism.com/product/the-generosity-of-plants/)*, including *gathering, preserving, sharing, reverence for the Earth, honoring our elders, gardening, protecting,* and *on being an herbalist!*
