Blooming steady since July!
One of the easiest herbs to grow.

I use the tea and tincture of calendula to support clients with lymphatic stagnation and swelling. It reduces inflammation along the GIT.

It's a classic topical remedy for a range of skin ailments, prepared as an infused oil, compress, poultice or bath. I've personally had remarkable results using it on the skin.
I've included it in several sitz bath teas recently, for expecting mothers, as part of their after-birth care.

My level 2 herb class did an attunement with calendula in September, some were moved to tears by its generosity of medicine and spirit. Our hearts glowed with orange/yellow love light.

We'll unearth 10 medicinal roots, from the wild and the garden.
There'll be lots of tasting and tincture making.

Things get intimate when we dig deep into the root of the matter.

Plants are a source of comfort and reassurance, just knowing they're in my corner.

Cultivating connections with plants brings many layers of benefits and blessings.

May you find your plant allies and nurture those relationships.

How do you say thank you to the plants?

I'm grateful for hawthorn's mere presence in my orchard. I stand with it to ground and center myself. It helps to amplify my daily prayers.

I'm also grateful for its heart strengthening power, both physical and emotional ❤️‍🩹

Clinic Practicum - In Person
Week-long, 40 hours

November 22-27, 2026, Halifax

This opportunity is designed for those studying to become a clinical herbalist.

The Bloom training clinic provides students with practical skills needed to operate a herbal practice and qualify for professional designation:

* meeting with clients and taking case histories
* formulation and therapeutics review
* dispensing herbal remedies
* other dispensary/practice procedures
* basic physical examinations

Guidance and supervision is provided by Savayda Jarone, RHT, who has been offering clinic practicum in person at Bloom since 2018. You will benefit from her professional experience and wisdom gained from over 25 years of clinical practice.

Our first week-long clinic intensive in June was a huge success; students met with 19 clients, gaining a diverse spectrum of experience. Learning in person with fellow students was a major highlight.

Details are on the Bloom website.

The second coming of nettle! I cut it back after it's first flowering in July, and here it is, offering nutritive abundance again.

Drop by Bloom on Wednesdays, 11-3:30 for nettle, and chats about your favourite herbs.

If you had to choose just one herb for everyone what would it be?

The mosquitoes are stressing me out!

It can feel overwhelming trying to decide which nervines and adaptogens to choose when faced with so much choice, paired with incomplete information.

I'll differentiate between my favourites, based on my 25 years of clinical practice.

For instance, which vervain is best, or how to choose between hops and valerian for sleep, and when to use a nerve restorative vs a relaxant. How do adaptogen herbs fit in the picture?

Whether you're new to herbal medicine, or updating knowledge, this webinar will bring clarity and confidence when choosing herbs to support you during stressful times.

Hops - Humulus lupulus
That's a lot of U's 🙂

I feel relaxed just hanging out with hops, it has a gorgeous aroma.

Whether you're new to herbal medicine or well on the plant path, this webinar will help you engage more effectively with the nervine herbs. 🌿

The ten I've chosen are based on my clinical use over the past 25 years.
I'll highlight their personalities, energetics, best preparation methods and uses.
