The Vision Sprouts.

The Nettle patch began in a car driving from NYC to Massachusetts in the summer of 2009. Strangers at first, two girls from the big apple agreed to car pool to the International Herbal Symposium, and quickly became friends. Several hours into the drive Katinka turned to Kelly and said "I have this vision. . . . "

That vision was to bring together city herbalists and form a group that would learn, create, support each other, and share experiences, but more importantly to find ways of reaching out to the greater community to teach and bring herbal healing to them as well. Before long they had made that vision real, and now we are a thriving group trying to get our fingers into the dirt of New York and let something really wonderful grow.
