The New England Herbary
Welcome to The New England Herbary, a podcast (formerly Living and Lovin Herbs) where we explore the timeless wisdom of herbs and how they can support health, home, and spirit in today’s world. I’m Brenda Sullivan—herbalist, author, and teacher—inviting you to discover simple, practical, and inspiring ways to weave herbs into everyday life. Each episode blends stories, traditions, and down-to-earth uses of plants—from the kitchen to the garden, from self-care rituals to seasonal living. You’ll hear about herbal history and folklore, modern wellness practices, and even the astrology-herbal connections that help us align more deeply with nature’s rhythms. Whether you’re curious about growing herbs at home, crafting bath and body products, exploring plant-based rituals, or just looking for stress-friendly, inflation-smart wellness ideas, this podcast offers tools you can use. My mission is to demystify herbs and make them approachable, safe, and enriching—while sharing the stories and seasonal traditions that make them unforgettable. New episodes are released monthly. Join me as we explore the rich world of herbs, rooted in New England soil but connected to listeners everywhere.
