Welcome
We chose the dandelion as our logo because it persists - it represents our approach to persisting through adversity and living harmoniously.
Life in the 21st Century is challenging. Living well is hard to do in a world driven by growth, consumerism, and meeting the gap between income and making ends meet. There is no one-size-fits-all solution. This site presents some of the solutions that have worked for us to be able to first, survive, and then go on to thrive.
One of the parts to our approach is to consciously push back on consumerism. We are not idealising earlier eras as idyllic. Instead we ask what do we gain and what control and skills do we lose by being locked into forever service agreements to others.
Similarly, we affirm the value of spending time in the garden, seeing seeds we started turn into herbs and food and beauty. Seeing the garden feed ourselves, our souls, and nature.

Gardening Therapy
Gardens and plants have a long history of being associated with healing. And, how we as humans respond to the natural environment dates all the way back to our earliest experiences as hunter gatherers. At Rugged Weeds, we work with small groups to use gardening to tap into the ties we have as humans to nature and plants to access improved health.
