I'm Roni, and Naya's Garden grew out of a fascination I've had for a long time with the extraordinary world of plants, and how much there is to discover when we actually pay attention to them. I've always loved the spirit of the old village apothecary: Shelves filled with dried flowers, fragrant leaves, strange roots and tiny seeds, each with its own character, history, place in folk medicine, and even myths. A world where plants were appreciated not only for what they could offer us, but sometimes as living beings with spirits of their own. I think we've lost something of that respect along the way.
