“Today was supposed to be the release announcement for Poison Garden: Poison Ivy.

But it's not. We couldn't afford to print it.
After several mental breakdowns over taxes, the economy, and the rising cost of making books, a few loving friends stepped in with advice on how to make an unstable situation into something sustainable. They pointed out that Poison Garden has always been a community-led project, and so it's time to ask the community for help.”

Issue 2 of the Poison Garden* was released yesterday. It’s an exploration of belladonna through the lenses of ecology, science, history, theater, somatics, and art. There is even a growing guide to help nurture a personal relationship with this powerful plant.

when I first submitted my essay idea to the #PoisonGarden I really didn’t know what I was doing or what it was going to be like. I have been consistently impressed not just by the quality of Mila’s writing and artwork at Spirit Dirt, but by the quality of all the other contributors’ work as well. The physical magazine is a thing of beauty and you should order it:

The first issue of #PoisonGardenMag has emerged from the dirt. My work is featured in a future issue, but you fellow poison plant friends will love this one as well, and your support now supports me too
