Some plants are worth making space for wherever you live

For Juliette de Bairacli Levy, rosemary was one of them

Resilient, aromatic and grows in abundance, rosemary is valued as a culinary herb but its also a traditional herbal ally that offers protection. It can offer food and shelter to visiting insects and remain green throughout all the seasons

This is a reminder that growing herbs is more than just having 'ingredients' in your garden. It allows us to live alongside the plants, observe them through the seasons and build a relationship with them over time

Save this as your reminder to plant rosemary, or share it with someone deciding what to grow next

What is the one herb you would plant wherever you lived?

Winter has the energy of deep hibernation and when we observe nature we see this through energy being drawn inward. Growth is dormant and leaves on deciduous trees are non existant returning their energy to their roots

Through the lens of elemental herbalism winter can be explored through Air, Fire, Water and Earth

》Water asks us to honour rest and restoration, supported by nourishing herbs like nettle, oat straw, marshmallow root, and cleavers

》Earth brings us back to our roots through grounding herbs like dandelion, burdock, chicory, and yellow dock root

》Air invites us to make space for breath and reflection, we can work with aromatic herbs like thyme, eucalyptus, mint, and sage

》Fire, we can tend to our warmth with herbs like ginger, cinnamon, rosemary, and nasturtium

These elements offer us another way to notice what is present, what may be lacking and what we feel drawn towards during the colder months

Tend to your body and mind kindly, we are not supposed to exude so much outwards energy throughout winter 💚

Every herbalist needs a herbalist

At our weekly Elemental Herbalism meeting this week, Lis shared that she'd been feeling unwell for almost a month

Cass and Lily began asking questions and suggesting herbs that might support her. Lis laughed and said, "Every herbalist needs a herbalist."

Perfectly summarised

When we're exhausted, foggy or at capacity it's much harder to step back and see our own situation clearly. The knowledge is still there but accessing it isn't always so easy

This is one of the reasons herbalism has always been rooted in community. We learn from one another, support one another, and sometimes we just need someone else to help us see what we might not be able to in the thick of it
