WOW what an amazing herb which in a previous life I discarded as an insignificant weed that grew on the dried out mud patch of the gateway - invisible indeed as ignorance caused me to think of it as totally insignificant. Excellent presentation once again.

Louise

Thank you for the amazingly selected Herbal box this Summer season

The herbs are just fantastic and I’ve been in my absolute element displaying, offering and enjoying self selection with Callie and trying the teas.

Emma

Thank you so much last nights tasting and meditation. As my first one I really enjoyed the whole experience.

The meditation really helped calm my mind and I felt very connected to the white horse. I didn’t really have anything come to me in terms of colour but I had a constant feeling of joy and happiness throughout

It was a great experience and really opened up my mind to how herbs affect us and im really thankful for that

, can’t wait for the next one.

Auriol

Yay!!! Thank you Rachael!
