Hi! My name is Ama Rose, and I grew up loving nature for its ability to make sense out of life and its many mysteries. Ive always been pretty obsessed with learning, and as I gain age I find that so many of the concepts I want to understand, can be found demonstrated, both simply, and with beautiful intricacy, in nature. A life of finding peace and grounding collecting rocks, and talking to trees, grew into a specified love for the plants themselves ,and ultimately, for the massive benefit to heart(joy) and health available in the discovered and to be discovered world of plants. Today I am striving to understand both the benefits of the plants and lands around me to myself, and my community ,and how I may be of benefit to the land in harmony with it.
