Herb Walk and Stall

Follow me!
Thanks to everyone who attended the Hulme Herb Walk last week and survived the heat! I think it was probably the hottest day of the year so far, good job I brought the sun cream with me.
Of course it almost had to be called off as the week before, the council in their wisdom had strimmed the whole area, decimating quite a few of the plants I wanted to show. Thankfully the were not very efficient and had missed quite a few. However it was not exactly the meadows filled with beautiful wildflowers that I was hoping for. Oh well I suppose I was wanting to show the survival of our native species against the adversity of inner city living! Anyway we managed to see about 20 plants out of the 28 I had planned in an hour and a half, ending back at the Garden Centre for a cup of fresh Lyme flower or hay-fever tea. All in all a very pleasant if a little heat exhausting event.
What this event also allowed me to do was to set up my new stall! This is something I have been working on over the past few months developing lots of new products. I am now selling lots of soaps, teas, creams, bath oils, flower water spritzers and a range of tinctures which can be used for sleep, hay-fever, stress, digestive problems…. Anyhow here are some pics from the walk and a video of me waffling about the Elder……again! Scroll down for more news about the stall!
My new stall
I have mainly been thinking about doing the stall at festivals and markets but setting it up at the Garden Centre, especially in their cute little hut, has given me the idea of making it a permanent fixture there. So over the next few months I am going to be running it once a month to trial how it goes with the hope that it could run once a month. This is great opportunity to come and trial some herbal medicine and have a chat with me about how it could help you or your family.
First stall is this Saturday 10th July 11.30 – 3.30pm with other stalls on Saturday 21st August and 11th September, same time.
