The goal of Backyard Herbalist is to pass on the traditional knowledge of plants and herbs that were taught to Ricci by her mother, grandmother and great-grandmother for enhanced well-being and medicinal purposes.

We are dedicated to the health and well being of those looking for alternative methods of staying healthy.  You will find interesting herbal information to incorporate into your life, from using whole herbs for health and beauty to herbal gardening and cooking with herbs.
