There Are No Weeds
The plants we’ve all been brainwashed to pull, poison, and despise were actually the Earth’s first responders. The soil’s very own herbal remedies at work, supporting, balancing, and healing our sacred soils. The medicine we forgot how to use.
It’s beyond time we reclaim and repurpose our language together, one family at a time and stop calling our wild medicines ‘weeds.’
Words carry power.
And the word ‘weed’ has too long been used to confuse, erase, diminish, and disconnect us from our plant allies.
In permaculture, we see ‘weeds’ differently. We don’t call them invaders or pests. We call them soil indicators, helpers, and guides, vital parts of our local ecosystems.
True pioneer plants: that is their gift, their purpose, their wisdom.
🌼 Dandelions are aerating compacted ground with deep taproots.
🌿 Comfrey is mining minerals from deep below to heal the topsoil.
🌸 Yarrow is dynamic accumulator and soil structure support.
These wild plants appear intentionally, not to disrupt, but to repair. Their presence tells a story we’ve forgotten: one of pH imbalance, of nutrient need, of soil compaction, healing in motion.
Somewhere along the way, from our great grandparents till now, we were taught to fear the land, we forgot our plant wisdom, instead guided to spray it, shame it and to see our backyard medicine as a mess to be cleaned up, pulled out, and thrown away.
The word ‘weed’ was never neutral. It came with a dark intention, a mindset of control, power, and disconnect. One of ignorance over innerstanding and forgetting that nature knows how to heal herself.
So let’s remember NOW.
There are no weeds.
Only misunderstood plants we are now re-learning to listen to, learn from, and to heal the soil with together.
Let’s keep reclaiming our connection to the land, to our plant, fungi, and animal kingdoms, one wild herb, one plant partner at a time.
Change starts at home.
No more ‘weeds’ is a needed evolution. 🌱
