Botanical Research + Education

Through the Ground Shots Project, we compile extensive ethnobotanical profiles for educational purposes based on field research and a deep dive into history, botany, archaeology, philosophy and current cultural conversations. Often a combination of these perspectives in one place is missing from herbalism or botanical literature.

We also explore these themes on the Ground Shots Podcast, an audio project exploring our relationship to ecology through conversations and storytelling.

We also teach classes in person and online in different format on plants and people, to find classes, go to our store page, here.

We’re here to offer something on the edges: resources that are cohesive in breadth, acknowledge a bigger ecological web that plants are a part, see the human as a part of ecology, and honor the complex cultural traditions of use that often span beyond perceived borders.

Through our podcast conversations and creative educational resources, we are offering a unique lens into the world of plants and the ways in which we can be connected to them in modern times.

Below are a few extensive profiles we have available free for the public:
