Wild Violet

The wild violet is emerging. Soon the tiny purple flowers will dot organic lawns and woodland edges.

Every part of the violet is edible and rich in vitamins. In early spring, I add the tender leaves and blossoms to salads and keep fresh violet tea steeping on the stove. Traditionally, violet is known for its gentle anti-inflammatory and soothing qualities, and in folklore it is associated with heart healing, protection, and vivid dreams.

Seeing these first flowers return each year feels like a quiet promise. Spring is coming.
