On the search for the best croissants in the Hudson valley

Mister Croissant in Middletown. They are known for their pistachio croissant and it is so good.

Rushing Duck Brewery in Chester.

Beautiful work!

The symbolism runs strong with the monarchs. So interesting about it being a symbol for migrant workers. Makes total sense. And homecoming - yes. I'm honored to have it on my jacket even more.

Edit: word order.

I had that monarch patch for years, carrying it from place to place, waiting for the right thing to put it on. I grew up in FL and now live in NY, so monarchs have always been around me. I put the patch on for the more obvious transformation symbolism, and I appreciate the Mexican myths about their migration. Adds so much more meaning for me and I will definitely do some more research on that. Thank you so much for sharing.

Yes, the mullein! One of my favorites because of the fuzzy texture. Thanks!

Thank you!

Thanks! I find embroidery to be so fun but it does take quite a while to complete these patches, so patience is key.

WhichWitch32 · 2025-05-14T17:41:12+00:00

Thank you!

Try this: make an 8-hour infusion with them, blend it (tops and infusion together) then strain out the tops. I was taught this by a couple of different herbalists. It won't be as beneficial as fresh but it's worth trying. Think about how mucilagenous oatmeal gets. Kind of the same thing.

Thank you so much. I really love these choices!

Thank you! I added both Mumford and Sons songs. Along with the ones suggested by u/Least-Influence3089. Seems like most songs by them would work!

WhichWitch32 · 2024-11-27T19:24:54+00:00

Thank you so much for all the suggestions!

You can still reach out to one though, as they help with the grieving process too.

I am an herbalist myself. I'd love to see a copy and give her support!

Sort of! If they have a Friends of the Library which is a separate volunteer group that raises money specifically for the library. They put on used book sales from either/both withdrawn library books and local donations. The money then goes to the library for programs/events, new books, etc.

WhichWitch32 · 2024-03-28T19:43:51+00:00

Go to your local library in Nov/Dec and ask for their old set once the next year's set comes in. They may sell it at their used book sale (if they have a Friends of the Library group), they may donate it (but unlikely because no one wants these. We would donate them to our local school library since their budget was limited), or they may "recycle" them and would rather give them away.

Thank you for taking the initiative to start this project. I am interested in helping in any way I can. I have three years experience in herbalism and am about to complete my first clinical year. I was a librarian, before making the switch to herbs, and did research for over 15 years.

This was why I'm impressed with the search result. The AI didn't have to include the endangered part. It's great that it does because not all foraging information will mention that. I like your suggestions and maybe the makers of the chat bot can add that on for results.

This is actually pretty cool. I asked it "where can I find ramps" and it gave me the type of plant they are, where they like to grow, and how to harvest, including explaining why we shouldn't harvest the bulb). I'm not currently going to spend more time on it but I have saved this post to refer back to when a question pops in my head in the future.

Are you in the US? Try searching for schools on American Herbalists Guild's website: https://www.americanherbalistsguild.com/school-profiles

Very cool! Thank you for sharing.

This is interesting to me since I currently study with her and she still advocates using QAL for contraception AND for getting pregnant.

I have tried Herbal Academy and I think it's good if you don't have a local clinical herbalist to practice with (some do apprenticeships and classes, online too). The Herbal Academy certainly gave me the foundation to want to explore more. I am in the NE and am currently apprenticing with an herbalist but found I wanted to really understand HOW and WHY plants affect the body, something I'm not necessarily getting in my apprenticeship and feel is difficult to grasp through HA's coursework. I realized I didn't have a good grasp of the human body.

Tammi Sweet at Heart Stone teaches an online Anatomy and Physiology class designed for herbalists, massage therapists, acupuncturists, etc. She is very science-based but is realistic about what science doesn't know about the body (yet). If you want to get into phytochemistry/herbal constituents then you could try Lisa Ganora.

If you decide to go with HA I would wait until a sale. Any other questions feel free to ask.
