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.
Abundant Ecosystems
Online Course
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, a young terraced orchard, 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.

There are plans and dreams for Green Song, but for now, much of the work is observation.
​
We know much of what we imagine here will take years to grow. For now, we're beginning with stewardship—learning this place, caring for what is already here, and letting that relationship shape what comes next.
​
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.
Plants + Place + Practice
Field Notes is a place for observation and interaction—musings and wonderings, the changing seasons, all things growing and making, and the endless learning as this next chapter of Mutable Earth unfolds.
​
There will be plants and medicine, gardens and animals, Green Song Farm, epic successes and mistakes,
celebrations and discoveries. Sometimes a long story. Sometimes a photograph, a little video, or simply something that jumped out at me that morning.

ROOTS IN AUSTIN
The food forest continues to grow.
​
For fifteen years, I had the privilege of stewarding the food forest, medicinal gardens, apothecary, and community herbalism days at Whole Life Learning Center.
​
Today, that work continues under the stewardship of Jacqui Casarez Ramirez of Sacred Seed Botanicals.
If you're in Austin and looking for Community Herbalism Days, plant gatherings, medicine-making, and opportunities to learn in the food forest, I hope you'll continue growing there with Jacqui.
