My Friend Mullein

Nicole describes her experience getting to know mullein through a four-month plant walk during a spiritual herbalism class. Her "love letter" fanzine to the plant mullein includes classification information about the plant, writing on its historical, spiritual, and medical uses, and reflective writing about her relationship to the plant and its healing properties. She includes poems by writers that reference the plant, screenshots of texts with classmates about the plant, and advice on how to interact with and prepare the plant. The zine concludes with lessons she has learned about herself and mullein over the course of her plant walk.
