The Medicinal Grower is at the heart and science of healing plants.
Hi there,
I’m Amy Kousch and I am the founder of the Medicinal Grower. You may know me as the head grower and owner of Mineral Roots Nursery. My journey has been anything but ordinary and just like you, I believe in the power of plants to transform our lives for the better - in ways unimaginable until they flower.
I have been growing medicinal plants, studying soil, researching biodiversity, and asking questions for twenty years (well, I’ve been asking questions since I could speak) to get to the heart of the matter: How Can Medicinal Gardens Make Life Better?
Yes, in reciprocity to the divine natural world. But truly - how can a lifetime of experience in cultivating medicinal plants, developing educational programs, running a nursery, consulting with growers, studying for a PhD, collaborating with brilliant partners — be used to CREATE ACCESSIBLE WAYS to streamline the INTEGRATION of healing plants into wellness businesses, including landscape, garden design, and more?
What began as a way to answer questions that I couldn’t find anywhere else has turned into The Medicinal Grower.
The Medicinal Grower courses and resources take the guess-work out of establishing YOUR business and YOU as medicinal plant specialists. What sets The Medicinal Grower apart isn’t just in-depth, expert knowledge—it’s the intention behind it. We take time to understand, explore, and create materials that MAKE SENSE so that you can build your wellness business with honest tools.
Because healing is long-term, open-ended, and attainable. And because gardens are a doorway to endless nourishment.
Driven by passion
I know what it is to struggle with health issues.
And I know, intimately, the darkness that neurodegenerative disease can plague upon families.
The Medicinal Grower offers a piece of the puzzle towards hope and an antidote to fear.
It’s not just about growing ridiculously gorgeous medicinal plants - its about getting them into gardens everywhere.
Always,
Amy
