plants
Jess has been communing with the plant world since childhood, listening to them, studying and making art with them, working with them to heal bodies and our relationship to nature. Their commitment to learning ancient technologies such as herbal medicine, gardening/land tending, and cooking/preserving is ongoing.
They’re using their skills to introduce native plants back onto their urban lot, treat their family and community with traditional herbal medicine, grow food and continue their ability to identify plants in “wild” and cultivated environments. They are passing this wisdom on to their child and others in their chosen family, as a gift and prayer.
