Angelina is a Swedish herbalist, gardener and nature teacher working at a biodynamic kindergarten farm in Sweden.
At six years old, she packed a lunch and moved into the forest. Beneath a bent birch tree, she felt something most of us lose early in life – a deep, unquestioned belonging to the living world.
Today she works as the gardener at a biodynamic kindergarten and farm where children help plant and harvest the food they eat. She also leads year-long nature courses where students learn to navigate by the stars, gather wild plants and experience the natural world with all their senses.
“Keeper of the Yarrow” is a portrait of a woman who never severed her bond with the living world – and who carries forward a lineage of plant knowledge shaped by migration, war and resilience.
If you’ve ever felt that something in modern life is missing, this story may feel like coming home.
Topics in this film include herbalism, biodynamic farming, plant knowledge, wild plants, nature education and reconnecting with the natural world.
