Pumpkin has carried foodways, folklore, seasonal ritual, agricultural history, and a frankly ridiculous amount of modern skincare marketing. This month, we’re following the vine through the history, research, apothecary work, and stories attached to it.

Behind the Apothecary

Bonnie Montney is the founder of Wild Medicine Apothecary, where herbalism, formulation, research, and responsible product-making meet.

Her work moves between the apothecary bench and the documentation binder, studying plants and traditional practices, reviewing modern research, developing formulas, and building practical systems for independent makers.

Here, folklore and traditional knowledge are explored without being mistaken for scientific evidence, and research is used without stripping plants of the history and culture that surround them.

Curious, evidence-informed, slightly feral, and very well documented.
