thank you for stopping by!  i am baldflower, nice to meet you 👋🏾 

i am a certified herbalist through Cornell University's Medicinal Plants Certificate program in addition to many other titles.  however, this one has been in me for a long time.  when i was 10 i dreamed of becoming a pharmacist because the one we had consulted with customers every visit and made you feel part of a community.  my life ended up taking many different turns throughout the years but the calling never left.

i began growing herbs in 2009 in the backyard of my townhouse.  i had a small 4'x4' bricked garden where i ended up growing 10 different herbs!  i began to take note of their smells and textures and became curious about them in regards to teas.  that is where my journey along this path began.  any time i had a cough or sniffle i would pick an herb, make a tea, and feel better.  i realized i was healing myself!  i began sharing teas and other herbal creations with close family and friends and they started feeling better too!  

so now, here i am, spreading my love of herbs and knowledge to you as an herbal pharmacist. many of the herbs on this site come from my private garden, JAH.K.C, which holds 30 herbs and vegetables during the summer growing season.  i focus on a specific set of herbs based on my community's needs.  JAH.K.C is chemical and pesticide free.  i use natural, edible methods to fertilize and protect my garden.  otherwise, the rest of the herbs used are sourced from local farms and businesses and are 100% organic.  all teas, steams, and soaks are handmade with love and in good spirit upon order.
