98 | Creating an Herbal Zine

Camille interviews artist Julia Orquera Bianco and herbalist Megan Henshaw about their collaborative zine that celebrates seven medicinal plants from the Ohio River Valley.

They discuss the creative process, research at the Lloyd Library, connections with United Plant Savers, and how the project blends botanical art, conservation, and practical herbal knowledge.

Join us to hear about plant cultivation, harvesting, medicine-making, and how the zine came into being.
