Finding JOY in the little things...

RIGHT NOW:

I'm going on an "herbal scavenger hunt" in Sardinia...

As an avid herbalist with an ever growing desire to learn, I'm taking our trip to Sardinia as an opportunity to learn as much as I can about the native flora of the beautiful mediterranean island. 

Here's how it works:

  • There is a list of herbs that we're likely to find in Sardinia (hand crafted by yours truly).
  • Before our trip, I researched the herbs so that I can recognize them.
  • Now I am on the lookout for the herbs while we're away.
  • When I find them, I'm getting to know the herbs on a personal touchy-feely basis.
  • As we go, I'm posting updates so that we can all share in the experience of the local Sardinian flora! 

So let's go find some herbs!!
