Daily Inspiration feature with Ginger Webb in Voyage Austin.
I had an epiphany while working in the environmental movement in my 20s: for people to care enough to want to protect the Earth, we each need to have a relationship with the Earth and with the environment. At about the same time, I stumbled upon the field of herbalism and felt very strongly that this was a way for me to experience and build that relationship with the Earth and the plants around me.
Ginger talks with edible Austin magazine.
As a self-declared “geek” who rejects pseudoscience around alternative healing, Ginger Webb still asks plants for permission before harvesting them. Though she once worked in AI and has a graduate degree in French linguistics, she’s “as woo-woo as they come,” she says when we met at her home in Wimberley.
