welcome to the zesty rose. this is a place where we are inspired to tend to the earth and invite earth's medicine to support our wellbeing and vitality. here, we cherish the healing properties of fruits, vegetables, fungi, herbs, flowers, water, and bees. earth is our guide—she will show us how to care for her and for our bodies, families, and communities. join us on this journey of remembrance—remembering the importance of soil health, protecting the bees, preserving natural water sources, and cultivating earth’s edible wonders to be prepared and consumed ceremonially, as it once was. may we learn from the indigenous ways to become earth keepers—may it be beautiful, may it be art. my prayer is for the zesty rose be a place to share folklore and mythologies of edible delicacies and recipes that inspire a return to our roots. may this vision nourish many with cuisines, treats, and tonics that are seasonal, medicinal, and ceremonially served to invite us into reverence for this bountiful, beautiful, edible earth.
