Medicinal Herb Cultivation - The Joy of Growing My Own
A report on the adventure of cultivating medicinal plants over the years, and passing
on herbal knowledge in the tradition of Michael Moore
Monica Rude studied with Michael Moore and then proceeded to attempt to grow bulk herbs for the world.
This required someone to do the work, so an apprentice program was begun. Currently, Monica grows about 100 medicinal
and culinary herbs in Gila, New Mexico for teaching and use in the Desert Woman Botanicals product line. She has gained
extensive experience in teaching gardening and herb use and messing with herbs.
