Dandelions are blooming again here in Oregon. Does that mean we should wait to dig the roots? Rosalee de la Forêt has a simple answer for Mason Hutchison: dig one up and taste it.

Together we dig into four dandelion myths. We talk about why herbalists reach for dandelion for digestion, what you miss when you think of it mainly as a liver herb, and how sweet and earthy a fall root can taste.

Then Rosalee turns the tables on Mason to ask about a preparation he rarely hears herbalists talk about: a nourishing infusion made with dandelion leaves.

Rosalee's making dandelion root tea for the challenge, and Mason's going with leaf infusions.

If you were spending 30 days with dandelion, what would you make? Let us know in the comments!

Dreaming with the Plants | A Rosemary Story with Heather Sanderson Oct 17, 2026

Show notes

What happens when an herb you've just studied gives you a lesson you won't forget?

Heather Sanderson reads a rosemary story from her book, Dreaming with the Plants. What began as a late-night cup of rosemary infusion became a memorable lesson in paying attention, learning through direct experience, and recognizing the plants beyond our spice cupboards.

Heather shares how this encounter helped bridge the gap between studying herbal medicine and developing a personal relationship with the plants themselves.

Dreaming with the Plants explores plant connection through stories, physical medicine, folklore, spirit, and consciousness, with a meditation or adventure offered for each plant.

From Corporate Life to Community Herbalist | Shannon Mayernik Oct 15, 2026

Show notes

In this episode of The Herbalist Hour, I'm joined by Shannon Mayernik, herbalist and co-owner of Mayernik Kitchen in northern New Jersey.

Shannon shares how a single class with Robin Rose Bennett in 2009 sparked a love of herbalism that eventually led her from a career in publishing to working on a farm and building an apothecary with her husband, Matt.

We chat about her herbal education, the joys and challenges of changing careers, and creating a space where people can watch medicine being made and learn to make their own.

We also explore her longtime connection with mugwort, the practice of studying one plant through an entire growing season, and her recent experiments with fennel.

Along the way, we get into food preservation, seasonal eating, hands-on herbal education, and why relationships with local farmers are such an important part of their work.

Shannon also shares why she'd love to see an apothecary in every town, and why she sees more herbal businesses as an opportunity to build community.

Thanks for tuning in!
