Please check out our new Native Plant app!! Over time I will be adding additional plants and regions. For now, I am starting with the Gulf South. This app will continue to be a “work in progress” with new plants, regions, and educational content added frequently. I am currently working on the educational "Learn" section, adding additional mini-lessons. EcoRoot is an app built around learning about the plants of Louisiana, with identification tools, a field guide and educational content that I intend to continue expanding.

Air plants are a group of epiphytic plants, most commonly in the genus Tillandsia (part of the Bromeliad family). Unlike most plants, they don’t grow in soil. Instead, they anchor to other plants, rocks, or structures and absorb moisture and nutrients through their leaves. Their remarkable adaptability and minimal care needs have made them increasingly popular in homes, offices, terrariums, and artful displays.

Have you ever brought home one of our plants and later noticed a tiny surprise sprouting at the base?

You know the moment. You’re at a gathering. Someone gestures toward you and says,“Ohhhh, this is Alicia, she’s the crazy plant person.” Everyone laughs. You smile… because you know something they don’t. You’re not crazy, you’re connected. In a world that has forgotten how to listen to the living earth, connection can look unusual. But what if being the “crazy plant person” is actually a sign of something deeper, something wise, intuitive, and profoundly healthy?

You are invited to the Spiritual Herbalism Workshop, where we will explore the deep-rooted connection between plants, spirit, and healing. For centuries, cultures around the world have worked with herbs not only for their physical benefits but also for their energetic and spiritual properties. This workshop will guide you through the history of spiritual herbalism, ethical considerations in plant work, and the foundational spiritual properties of herbs.

Growing plants in water is one of my absolute favorite ways to grow plants. I do very small scale water growing with all of the different water growing modalities - hydroponics, hydroculture, aquaponics, and aquaculture! If I had the $$$ (talking hundreds of thousands here, lol) and the space, I would likely grow all of my plants and a lot more primarily using aquaponics, since it is the most fun, especially if you also like raising fish!I have often seen plant enthusiasts talk about how easy and carefree it is to grow plants in water. I recently even read an article that provided a list of plants to grow in water "maintenance free".  There are a few different problems with that statement.  While it is true that many plants can indeed live, grow and thrive in water, it is never maintenance free and can sometimes be even a bit tricker to keep them happy.

When it comes to creating a beautiful and sustainable yard, native plants are an excellent choice. These plants, which naturally occur in your region, offer a range of benefits for the environment, your wallet, and your local wildlife. Let’s explore why you should consider planting native species in your outdoor spaces.

Plants have been cherished for millennia for their remarkable properties that nurture both the body and soul. Whether through their physical healing compounds or their symbolic spiritual significance, botanical plants hold a central role in human well-being.
