Jane Stevens, to me, is the epitome of what we refer to as a person with a "green thumb". In fact after having this two week discussion with her, I thought that perhaps, like the famed Vulcan "Mister Spock", she might also have Green Blood. Jane is an advocate, protector, and in some ways an evangelist of sorts for the beauty, wonder, and curative nature of all green things that grow all around us. As a trained horticulturist she knows not only the scientific facts about plant biology but also understands deeply, their importance to our health and well being. If you're an avid gardener, an outdoor enthusiast, or a seeker of information about the curative plants and spices that have been understood for untold years; these episodes are for you. And even if you're not one of those please give these episodes "a listen". Jane is also a charming and humble conservationist as well as an ardent conservationist with meaningful, helpful information for anyone that will listen.
Jane Hawley Stevens began specializing in herbs in 1981 after earning her Horticulture degree from U.W. Madison. Opportunities in herb garden design evolved into using herbs in cooking and home remedies. In 1987 she began Four Elements Organic Herbals, continuing to grow herbs used for wellbeing. Grown and harvested on her 130-acre farm in the Baraboo Bluff of Wisconsin, products are handmade by dedicated local women and sold throughout the country.
A pioneer in organic farming and the natural product industry, Jane has taken her love and reverence for nature to inspire others through her effective products and teaching at organic herb, garden and professional events. Her desire is to connect people consciously to that which sustains them.
Her art and science of herbal wellness has expanded to create Four Elements Herbals product line that sells across the country.
