How to Learn More About Plant Medicine

May 06, 2021 • Kristin Donnelly • Season 1 • Episode 4

A Conversation with Linda Shanahan of Barefoot Botanicals

Linda Shanahan is an herbalist, an herb farmer, and a nurse. Since 2008 she has operated Barefoot Botanicals, a certified organic herb farm in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, with her partner Eric VanderHyde. It is here that she feels all of her worlds come together—she grows plants, makes herbal medicines, and teaches classes in medicine making and community health. Linda believes that the most powerful medicine is building connection with our environment, starting with learning about what grows beneath our feet.

The mission of Barefoot Botanicals is to connect people to plants for food, for medicine and for a more resilient collective future for all beings. In this episode, we talk about how to learn more about herbs and herbalism, what can you expect when seeing an herbalist, how to wildcraft responsibly, and more.
