A quote graphic on a muted green background with illustrations of stinging nettle plants in the bottom corners. The text, in white serif font, reads: “The stinging nettle is such a good fellow and does not deserve the contempt with which we often look down on it where it grows wild in Nature. It should really grow around man’s heart, for in the world outside — in its marvelous inner working and inner organisation — it is wonderfully similar to what the heart is in the human organism. The stinging nettle is the greatest boon. ~ Rudolf Steiner ~“ At the bottom of the image is the Instagram handle: @rosemarygladstar.
