The Story of Our Logo!

Monarch on Goldenrod

  Our new logo, the monarch butterfly with goldenrod, came from a number of happy events that took place at Jean's Greens.

After being visited often by monarchs and having the chance to witness the metamorphosis of a chrysalis into a butterfly, we found our new symbol. Ted Andrews, author of Animal Speak, shares, "butterfly medicine reminds us to make changes when opportunities present themselves." Butterflies, he says, remind us that "life is a dance." The butterfly serves as a constant reminder to always be on the lookout for new opportunities to share with you, our community.

In searching for the butterflies' perch, we remembered that Goldenrod is a favorite of monarch butterflies and were reminded of the words of noted author and herbalist Matthew Woods, in the Book of Herbal Wisdom. "The message of goldenrod is to endure to reach the goal." Our true goal is ensuring Jean’s Greens continues as a trusted source for quality herbs and herbal products within our community and beyond.
