Long before laboratories and high-powered microscopes, humanity viewed the botanical world with a mix of reverence, mystery, and awe. Plants weren't just survival tools, they were characters in our grandest legends, protectors against unseen forces, and the foundation of ancient healing. Almost every plant that has touched human history carries a ghost of magic: Why did Cleopatra bathe in saffron? How did mugwort earn the title "Mother of Herbs"? What can the legend of Turtle Island teach us about our relationship with nature?Join us for a cozy morning of storytelling and tea. We’ll sip herbal brews while journeying through ancient Indigenous lore and traditional mythologies, discovering how these old-world stories laid the groundwork for the modern plant practices we use today. By understanding where these traditions came from, you’ll deepen your intuition, strengthen your daily practice, and see your plant allies in a whole new light

In Support of Urban Harvest, Inc.
Urban Harvest cultivates thriving communities through gardening and access to healthy, local food. We are improving the lives, soil, and plates of all Houstonians through:
ORGANIC GARDENING & NUTRITION EDUCATION
Urban Harvest Classes teach and promote the benefits of organic gardening, ecological land management, and healthy food choices. In schools, our Garden Educators teach children about nature and the origins of their food through hands-on, experiential learning.
HEALTHY FOOD ACCESS
Through Double Up Houston, Urban Harvest is making fresh, healthy food accessible and affordable for all. Double Up Houston provides SNAP (formerly food stamps) beneficiaries with double the amount of fresh produce for every dollar spent at markets and farm stands across Houston.
COMMUNITY GARDENS
With a network of over 160 edible gardens throughout the Greater Houston area, it's easy to get involved in a garden near you. Urban Harvest provides affiliate gardens with volunteer engagement and workdays; seed and plant distributions; and, free education opportunities to help each garden become long-lasting and well-established for the community it serves.
FARMERS MARKETS
Get to know your farmer at Urban Harvest's Farmers Markets. Here, you will find the freshest farm and artisanal products, each grown, raised, and made within 180 miles of Houston. What’s more, your food dollars stay in the local economy.
