https://stan.store/samanthadolling_346 After having provided guidance in the form of psychic mediumship and tarot readings for many years and giving energetic healing to thousands of people all over the world in 2017 I began my

journey as a medical herbalist. I achieved a First Class Honours Degree which I am super proud of. I am now able to help with physical plant and herbal medicine, healing on an energetic level and as a psychic can offer guidance and receive guidance from spirit in every aspect of my work. I love what I do and am always honoured to work with spirit and yourselves to make your life more fulfilled and full of joy and love. With the ascension of humanity and the healing of Mother Earth I feel even more dedicated to help shine a light for those that need it in any way that I can. I offer many courses and workshops in the spiritual realms. My dream is that if every single household was taught from a young age to meditate, stretch, be outside and work with nature and the seasons, grow their own food and medicine and spend more time in the heart than in the mind, the world would be a much kinder place.

A rose doesn’t spend its life wishing it were a foxglove.

Lavender doesn’t compare itself to peonies.

Each grows according to its own nature.

Sometimes I think the garden understands something we’ve forgotten.

There is room for many ways of being, many ways of growing, and many ways of flourishing.

What if we stopped comparing and simply became more of yourself? 🌸

Ivy has climbed cottage walls, old churches, stone wells and garden gates for centuries.

In folklore, it was a symbol of loyalty, endurance and protection.

Because it stays green through the darkest months of winter, ivy became associated with resilience — the ability to hold on through hardship and return to growth when spring arrived.

In parts of Britain, ivy was brought into the home during winter alongside holly, representing the enduring feminine while holly represented the masculine.

People believed it offered shelter not only to birds and wildlife, but to the spirit of the home itself.

Perhaps that’s why old cottages wrapped in ivy still feel so timeless.

Not because they’re perfect.

But because they remind us that some things grow slowly, hold fast, and stay.

Do you have ivy growing near your home? 🍃💚

After a week wandering amongst the plants of Greece, I came home to find my own little patch of earth quietly getting on with the business of summer.

The roses had opened.
The herbs were thriving.
The garden hadn’t forgotten me.

Sometimes the loudest welcome isn’t from a person, but from the garden.

What greeted you today? 🌿🌸

As I wandered through Greece this week, I kept spotting fig trees heavy with tiny, unripe fruit.

The common fig has been grown around the Mediterranean for thousands of years and was treasured by many ancient cultures as a symbol of abundance, fertility and prosperity.

In folklore, the fig tree often represents wisdom, nourishment and the generous gifts of the land.

Standing beneath one, surrounded by leaves and baby figs, it was easy to see why.

There is something deeply reassuring about a tree that quietly produces food year after year, asking for very little in return.

Have you ever seen a fig tree growing?

The bright pink, purple and magenta “flowers” of bougainvillea aren’t flowers at all. They’re colourful leaves called bracts, designed to attract pollinators to the tiny white flowers hidden in the centre.

As my week in Greece comes to an end, it seemed the perfect plant to share.

A reminder to look a little closer. Sometimes the most interesting things are hidden in plain sight.

Have you ever grown bougainvillea? 🌸🩷

As I come towards the end of my stay in Greece, it feels only right to pause for a moment beneath an olive tree.

The olive tree was sacred to Athena, goddess of wisdom, and for centuries has been a symbol of peace, abundance, endurance and strength.

Some ancient olive trees are believed to be hundreds, even thousands, of years old, quietly witnessing generations come and go while continuing to bear fruit.

I think that’s part of their magic.

They remind us that strength isn’t always loud or dramatic. Sometimes it looks like staying rooted through changing seasons, weathering what comes, and continuing to grow.

Have you ever stood beneath an olive tree? 🌿

As I move through my week here exploring the plants of Greece, I couldn’t walk past the hibiscus.

With its enormous blooms and vibrant colours, it’s one of those flowers that seems almost too beautiful to be real.

Across different cultures, hibiscus has long been linked with love, beauty, passion, and feminine energy. Yet each flower opens for only a short time before fading, making it a symbol of life’s fleeting moments and the importance of appreciating beauty while it is here.

Though often associated with warmer climates, hibiscus is grown in gardens around the world, bringing a little touch of the exotic wherever it blooms.

Perhaps that’s why so many stories and traditions became attached to it. A flower that reminds us that beauty doesn’t need to last forever to be meaningful.

Have you spotted hibiscus growing where you live? 🌸

Wild carrot (Daucus carota), often known as Queen Anne’s Lace, grows from the olive groves of Greece to the hedgerows and meadows of Britain, quietly accompanying people across Europe for thousands of years.

The ancient Greeks knew the plant and recorded its use, while in Britain it became woven into folklore and country tradition.

Our ancestors believed wild carrot offered protection to travellers and was a plant of luck and abundance.

As the flowers fade, the delicate white umbrella slowly folds inward, forming a tiny bird’s nest filled with seeds.

Perhaps that’s why it became associated with carrying something precious safely home.

Today I found it growing beneath the olive trees of Zakynthos, and I couldn’t help but smile at the thought that the very same plant grows along British footpaths, field edges and country lanes.

Two landscapes, hundreds of miles apart, connected by a single wildflower.

Have you ever noticed the little bird’s nest hidden inside a wild carrot flower? 🌿

As I spend a week in Greece exploring the plants, trees, and stories woven through this landscape, I couldn’t walk past this beauty without stopping.

Brugmansia, often called Angel’s Trumpet, has long been associated with dreams, mystery, and the threshold between worlds. Often found in gardens across the world.

Its great white flowers hang like bells from the branches, glowing softly as evening approaches, as though announcing the arrival of night.

Across many traditions, it became a plant linked with twilight, dreams, and the unseen mysteries that emerge when the day begins to fade.

Standing beneath it this evening in Zakynthos, I was struck by how some plants seem to ask us to pause and pay attention.

Not all wisdom arrives through effort.

Sometimes it arrives quietly, on the evening breeze.

Have you ever seen Angel’s Trumpet growing? 🤍🌀🌿

Across parts of Europe, chamomile was associated with prosperity and good fortune. Some people washed their hands in chamomile before games of chance, believing it would improve their luck, while others planted it near the home as a blessing for abundance.

There’s also an old gardening saying that chamomile thrives on neglect and seems to flourish the more it is walked upon.

Perhaps that’s why it became a symbol of resilience as well as good fortune.

Do you grow chamomile? 🤍🍃
