Congratulations, graduates! We hope the knowledge, connections, and inspiration you cultivated this weekend continue to take root and flourish long after class has ended. 💚🌱

✨ June Plant of the Month: Pine ✨🌲

Towering above forests, coastlines, and sandy Florida landscapes, pines offer far more than shade and scenery. These beloved evergreens have a long history of supporting wellness, with their needles, inner bark, and resin all traditionally used in herbal practice.

One of the simplest ways to enjoy pine is as a fresh needle tea. Bright, aromatic, and rich in vitamin C, pine pairs beautifully with other herbs throughout the seasons:

🌿 Thyme + Bee Balm for seasonal wellness support
🔥 Cinnamon + Cardamom + Ginger for warming winter blends
🌱 Peppermint + Catnip for a refreshing daytime tea when you're feeling under the weather

You can also infuse fresh pine needles into apple cider vinegar to create a tangy, nutrient-rich herbal vinegar that adds a forest-fresh flavor to dressings, marinades, and more.

Have you worked with pine before? Tell us your favorite way to enjoy this remarkable tree in the comments! 🌲💚
