About
Hello and welcome to my blog, Harmony Green. I am a writer and lover of nature, a proponent of herbalism and natural lifestyles and I practice what I preach. I live a very simple, natural lifestyle in a coastal town on the east coast of Florida. I am able to live every year on less money than most people earn in a few months. Frugal is my middle name. I am an informed herbalist and naturalist and can show you how to make almost anything with natural, non toxic materials. I have several other blogs, both here on WordPress and on Blogger. I consider Harmony Green to be the end result of many years of study and practice. Herbalism is a way of life.
The recipes I publish here on Harmony Green are part of a lifelong collection both of other people’s work and my own. Many of the wreaths I write about are my own designs and a lot of the herb recipes have evolved from my own cooking and crafting. I am a vegetarian and animal activist so you will sometimes see things that slant in that direction. I hope to offer more herbal cooking recipes, both for healing and for veganism. Natural healing is a specialty and I do not profess to be educated in herbal healing, although I have had years of practice in my own homemade style. Herbalism was a natural for me because I never had a lot of money… I don’t just buy the first product. In fact, when faced with a dilemma, my first idea is to “make it myself”. I hope to pass this style of thinking along to other budding naturalists.
I am always open to suggestions and conversation. If you wish to email me ideas or suggestions, or even recipes, you can do so at spacecoaststargirl@yahoo.com. Otherwise, I hope to have a newsletter soon, perhaps by the winter of 2009. Look for that as well. And thanks for reading Harmony Green.

Aleks-
To what recipe are you referring? I could answer this better if I knew whether you are refer to tinctures, perfumes or other concoctions. Let me know and I will tell you what I know.

Many people grow their own. You can buy seeds in any home and garden center. Otherwise, you can buy fresh where they supply fresh flowers… like a florist or herbalist. Try Spring Hill Nursery online or other seed and plant suppliers. Check your grocery store for fresh flowers.. they sometimes also have hollyhocks. Good luck.

Dear Mr/Mrs,
Surfing and searching the internet I stumbled upon your great website. I also noticed you provide your visitors with links to visitworthy environmental websites.
On the 22 of July (2009) we launched our new green hub Climatarians (http://climatarians.org). There is A LOT to do on our website:
- users can create their own blog
- users can discuss at our forum or in their group
- users can write articles at our wiki
- users can login with their Facebook (www.facebook.com) account and invite friends
- organizations can submit themselves to our directory (oops!… businesses have to pay)
- users can submit or search events
- users can submit or search job openings
We belief that -at least- some of your visitors find our website visitworthy and we hope you want to mention it in an article or grant us a link to our website.
If you would like to receive more information about me or Climatarians please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Thank you for your time and attention.
Best regards,
Joost Hoogstrate, founder
