Welcome to the Garden: The Story Behind Lumen Botanica

Every garden begins with a seed. Lumen Botanica began with a question: What if each plant held a key to understanding the natural rhythms of our lives?

Over time, I noticed how certain plants seemed to mirror the energy of the Moon, the seasons, and even the qualities found in the zodiac. Their textures, scents, shapes, and healing properties began to feel like subtle guides - reminding me that nature speaks a language that goes deeper than words.

Lumen Botanica is a place to explore that language.

At the heart of this space are the Plant Allies - twelve botanical beings, each chosen for their resonance with a particular essence found in nature and in the stars. These plants are not just symbols. They are companions, mirrors, and messengers - offering support, reflections, and insight.

This blog is where I’ll share their stories. You’ll find gentle rituals, seasonal recipes, and reflections rooted in both earth and sky. Some posts will explore the meaning and magic of a single plant. Others will invite you into the kitchen or the garden, offering simple ways to reconnect with your body, intuition, and the cycles that hold us.

Whether you’re here out of curiosity or devotion, I’m so glad you’ve stepped into the garden. There’s something beautiful waiting to bloom.
