Hi, I’m Dr. Kevin Price.
After retiring, I found myself spending more time working with plants, especially spotted beebalm. What began as a simple curiosity quickly turned into something much more meaningful.
With a background in plant science and biogeography, I’ve spent much of my life studying how plants grow, where they thrive, and how they interact with the world around them.
That experience shaped the way I look at plants, not just as something to grow, but something to understand.
When I first came across spotted beebalm, it stood out. It wasn’t something I had worked with before, but I recognized it as a plant worth paying attention to. That moment led to years of studying, growing, and learning everything I could about it.
Over time, that curiosity turned into hands-on work.
I began experimenting with growing conditions, soil composition, and small-batch preparation methods. What started as learning quickly became a process, one that required patience, observation, and a willingness to do things the slow way.
Each batch became an opportunity to refine that process and better understand the plant.
Down to the roots.
Spotted beebalm is a native plant with a long history of traditional use. It continues to be of interest today for its naturally occurring compounds and its role in plant-based preparations.
But beyond that, it represents something simpler.
It’s a plant that grows in natural environments, responds to careful cultivation, and can be worked with using straightforward, time-tested methods.
