Plants and Abolition is our monthly workshop series for herbalists, abolitionists, plant-lovers, and all those who are curious what plants can teach us about creating a more just world.

Together, we transform plants growing in our gardens into medicines that reflect Solitary Gardeners’ healing visions.

We’ve worked with spilanthes and mint grown in Obie Weathers’ garden at the St. Charles Center for Faith & Action to create herbal dental care products, inspired by Obie’s struggle for adequate dental care on death row in the Texas prison system, and with all proceeds going to support his Freedom Fund. We’ve learned from nomadic plants about the medicine of migration, from rosemary about how ancestral memory can shape abolitionist practice, and from skullcap about how to move through conflict for more grounded responses to harm.
