July August 2023 Essential Herbal Magazine

 Hot fun in the summertime!
This issue is full of sunshine from cover to cover. 
As all herbies (at least in the northern hemisphere) know, this is our time!  No matter if we're out in the boonies or in the heart of the big city, summer is when we are outside.  We dine al fresco, visit bodies of water, enjoy friends, or watch the fireflies.  It's a magical time during which we grow things, make lots of memories, and work our bodies.
Here's the Cover and Table of Contents for the current issue:

Cover
This artwork is so full of life and joy that it makes us happy just to look at it!  Deb Sturdevant is the artist.

Are You the Kind of Herbie that Herb Vendors Love?  Tina Sams
