Old fashioned snail mail is one of my favorite things, and I love getting happy mail! I’ve enjoyed having pen pals and being part of postcard exchanges over the years. Recently, that hobby has been a great pick-me-up when I need to take a break from all the craziness in the news. So I’m delighted to introduce the Herbal History Happy Mail Club!
What is the Herbal History Happy Mail Club?
I wondered if there was a way to share some happy mail and my love of herbal history with all of you. After some brainstorming, I came up with this idea.
Each month, you’ll receive a beautiful keepsake letter written and signed by me, and a collectible postcard. The letter focuses on a different herb each month, and the postcard features a matching photo taken from my garden.
In addition to writing about herbalism, I’m a professional nature photographer (as you’ve probably seen on the blog). I think you’ll love the herbal scenes I’ve selected for each postcard.

How does it work?
To join, all you have to do is sign up for a membership on my Ko-fi page. Mail Club letters mail out the first full week of each month. If you join after the first day of the month, you will still receive that month’s letter but it may be slightly delayed in the mail.
Our first edition is almost ready! The first letters will post the first full week of July, 2026 (July 6-10).

Ready to join?
July’s theme is butterfly weed, and this is the lovely photo for the postcard. Bees often find their way into my photography, and I love how this one is resting so delicately on the flowers.
Welcome to the Herbal History Happy Mail Club! I’m so excited you are here and can’t wait to mail your first letter.
All the best,
Agatha
