Tending the Hedge

Since starting my business in 2018, I have experienced all sorts of surprising challenges and joys, but one of the most magical and unexpected gifts has been the community that I have discovered. I have connected with herbalists, artists, educators, and activists, all bravely sharing their magic with the world, and I am continually in awe of these inspiring humans.

Tending the Hedge highlights some of these individuals who engage in a practice of “magical stewardship,” living and working with intention. I see this as a form of mutual aid and raising each other up, and as a rejection of competition and scarcity culture. Finally, I want to explore ways we might all “tend the hedge” of our own communities.

Each magic-maker offered such thoughtful and individual responses, I am honored to share them here.
