Mutable Earth Botanicals
Rooted in Relationship with the Plants, Place, and Community
Community Herbalism Permaculture Regenerative Living
Cultivating Abundant Ecosystems.
For more than fifteen years, Mutable Earth has grown through community herbalism, permaculture, medicine-making, gardens, teaching, and a deepening relationship with the living world.
After many years rooted in Austin, Texas, my family and I have made our home in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina.
I am allowing this next chapter of Mutable Earth to emerge slowly from this new life—from the plants and people I am meeting, the land we are tending, the medicines I continue to make, and the questions I am learning to ask.
For now, my work is taking shape through Abundant Ecosystems, Green Song Farm, and Field Notes from Mutable Earth.
​
The landscape has changed. The practice continues.
LEARN
Abundant Ecosystems
Permaculture + Community Herbalism
Abundant Ecosystems brings together two practices that have shaped my life and work for more than fifteen years.
Learn to observe the place where you live, understand the relationships already unfolding there, and begin cultivating resilient systems that nourish plants, people, soil, water, wildlife, and community.
Fall is a beautiful time to plan for spring—and now is a beautiful time to begin.
​
Online learning, hands-on practice, and one-on-one support.
Green Song Farm
Stewardship + Regeneration
Across the road from our home in the Blue Ridge Mountains is Green Song Farm—64 acres of forests, springs, ponds, pastures, orchard, animals, and possibility.
​
We are following water, rebuilding soil, tending fruit trees, growing food and medicine, restoring habitat, caring for animals, and slowly learning what this place is asking of us.
​
There are plans and dreams for Green Song, but for now, much of the work is observation.
​
Green Song is where many of the principles I teach through Abundant Ecosystems are being put into practice—and where the land continues to remind me how much there is still to learn.
​
The plants are still at the heart of it all.
Herbalism remains woven through everything I do—the plants I cultivate, the medicine I make, the way I teach, and the way I come into relationship with this place.
​
This year, I am giving that practice room to emerge from my new life rather than asking it to become something before it is ready.
​
For now, I am growing, making medicine, learning the plants of this mountain, and growing roots in our new home.
FIELD NOTES FROM
MUTABLE EARTH
Follow along as it unfolds.
This next chapter of Mutable Earth is taking shape slowly, through the rhythms of daily life and the practices of observation and interaction.
​
Field Notes is an invitation to follow along through glimpses of the everyday—plants I'm meeting, medicine I'm making, work at Green Song, experiments in the garden, changing seasons, questions, discoveries, photographs, little videos, and stories gathered along the way.
​
Some notes will be longer reflections. Others may simply be a photograph, a short video, or something that caught my attention that morning.
​
A place to stay connected and witness what emerges, one season at a time.
