About

Hello, I’m Dot
I live in a hollow in the hills, in the house my grandmother kept, with a porch that looks down the creek. She walked the woods with a basket every spring, and I walk the same paths now with a notebook.
Every Sunday I write one post about a walk, a plant or a supper from what I brought home. I take little, I write everything down and I am always learning. I am a neighbour with a basket, not an expert.
The journals, calendars and courses are the things I made for myself first: simple pages for looking closely, and a way to remember what I saw.

Questions
How do the downloads arrive?
Right after you pay you get an email with a link, and the files stay in your account. They are PDFs, made to print at home on ordinary paper.
Can I use this to identify plants?
No. I write about what I know near me, and I am still learning. Never eat anything you are not completely sure of, and learn from someone who knows your area.
Do you sell anything printed?
A few things, like tees and camp mugs. They are printed to order and shipped by Printful, and the cost and delivery time show at checkout.
Are the courses mine to keep?
Yes. Once you buy a course it stays in your account, and you can watch the lessons as often as you like.
How much is the newsletter?
It is free. Notes from the Holler comes every Sunday, and there is an unsubscribe link at the bottom of each one.
