Hello, I’m Nikola Barsoum — a community herbalist, long-time farmer/gardener, permaculture designer, and also a neighbour to others here in the Grand River Watershed on the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee, Anishnaabeg and Attawandaron Peoples. I’ve been growing medicinal herbs and helping connect folks to these plants since 2017.

 

My work and passion is rooted in knowledge that herbal medicine is 'the peoples medicine' and that everyone have a right to herbal knowledge and land-rooted skills. 

 

What we do in this community is more than learn about plants — we strive to create opportunities to fall in love with them. Because when we love the land and the plants that live here, we begin to protect them, and in turn, we protect ourselves and our communities.

Our work is grounded in regenerative practice, embodied learning, and reciprocal relationship.

​

I welcome you to this community!
