Connecting Souls Through the Power of Gardening

Sweetgrass: The Sacred Hair of Mother Earth 🌿

Sweetgrass (Hierochloe odorata) has long been revered in many Indigenous traditions as a sacred plant used for purification, blessings, and spiritual connection. Its soft, vanilla-like scent carries the energy of renewal.

Uses & Symbolism:
🔹 Braided and burned in rituals for cleansing and release
🔹 The 3 strands represent love, peace, and harmony
🔹 Used to reduce edema or swelling
🔹 Used in weaving
🔹 Brewed as a medicinal tea for coughs and sore throats
🔹 Used as a flavoring mainly in Europe

If you want to grow it, it prefers moist, well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade, spreads through rhizomes and is harvested by trimming, not pulling, to honor its regenerative nature.
