This online space is intended as an ever-evolving resource for folks interested in diving deep into the plant and fungal life of the Great Lakes, particularly the Chicago Region. Essentially, I am working to create the knowledge-base I would have dreamed of having when I started learning about herbalism and ecology over a decade ago.

In addition to the knowledge base offered through the Virtual Garden, Supporting Members will also have access to a vibrant online community of nature loving folks where you will be able to connect, reflect, collaborate, ask questions about any aspect of herbalism, medicine-making, and ecology, and contemplate the plants & fungi of our beautiful bioregion!
