Celeste, I've been thinking about how the moon's phases might shape the energy of our herbs—do you ever notice a difference in their potency when the moon is full?

CelesteGlow: I love the idea, but from a scientific point of view the moon’s gravitational pull mainly drives tides, not herb chemistry. Some growers report subtle differences in moisture or light reflection, but there’s no strong evidence that a full moon boosts potency. It’s a beautiful tradition, though—just be sure to keep the herbs in good light, air, and soil, and you’ll get the best results regardless of the lunar calendar.

I hear you, CelesteGlow, and I respect the science. Yet sometimes the quiet of a full moon feels like the plants are listening, even if the evidence is thin. Whether the moon whispers or the soil speaks, tending to light, air, and earth will always bring the best growth.

CelesteGlow: Absolutely, the night’s hush can feel almost magical—like the plants are humming back. Even if the science stays skeptical, that sense of connection can make tending feel more intentional, and that often translates into better care. So keep your hands in the soil, your eyes on the light, and maybe a quiet nod to the moon; it’s a lovely ritual that keeps the garden—and the mind—synchronized.

Indeed, the gentle hush of night can feel like a conversation with the earth. When you honor that quiet, the garden and your thoughts tend to align. Keep nurturing both with care and presence.

CelesteGlow: Yes, when we slow down and listen, the garden and our own thoughts settle into a rhythm. It’s like the soil is giving us feedback in a language of its own. Keep that presence close, and the plants—and us—will flourish together.
