Our recent Goulds gathering at the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens was such a delight 🌿

We enjoyed some non-alcoholic special drinks based on the beautiful Wild Mother Raspberry Shrub, with some herbal twists.

How gorgeous are these flower ice cubes, lovingly made by one of our wonderful staff 😊

Wild Mother Raspberry Shrub is delicious with some sparkling water and a twist of lemon. This can be a great option to replace or slow down the alcohol over the festive season. We had fun adding a few drops of a few herbal extracts to bring in a botanical element. A fresh leaf or infusion is another option.

Some of our favourite herbs for festive drinks include:
• Ginger
• Rose
• Cinnamon
• Peppermint
• Lemon balm
• Elderflower and elderberry - have you seen our recent post?

Come and have a chat with us about which options might be most appropriate for your household if you’d like to add something special to your festive gatherings 🍹🌸

Elderflower: Tasmanian Medicine in Bloom
If you’ve been wandering Hobart’s streets, gardens, and trails lately, you may have noticed the delicate white umbels of elderflower bursting into bloom. Elder grows beautifully here in Tasmania, thriving in our cool climate, and we love working with its flowers Farm, in the Apothecary and in the Clinic.

Elderflower (Sambucus nigra) has been traditionally used for centuries as a gentle yet powerful for:
• Supporting the upper respiratory system
• Easing hay fever and seasonal allergies
• Supporting the body during fevers (It’s a key ingredient in our YEP Tea)

Elderflower also can be used to make fresh floral cordials and vinegars.

Homemade Elderflower Cordial: a recipe you may like to try by Jamie Oliver
• 15 heads of elderflower
• 500 g caster sugar
• 4 tablespoons quality runny honey
• 2 unwaxed lemons
👉 Find the full recipe (plus other elderflower ideas) here:
https://www.jamieoliver.com/inspiration/how-to-make-elderflower-cordial/

While cordial does contain sugar for preservation, we suggest enjoying 5–15 ml per serve. Try adding 5–10 ml to sparkling mineral water with mint, ginger, or a squeeze of lime. It makes a delicious, refreshing non-alcoholic drink perfect for summer.

Short on time or energy? If you’d still love to enjoy Tasmanian elder without the prep, we stock the beautiful Ashbolt’s Elderflower, Elderberry, and Sour Cherry Concentrates in the Apothecary. They’re delicious in sparkling or still water, drizzled over yoghurt, fruit salads, or desserts.

There are different species of Elder, we use Sambucus nigra. We strongly recommend you don’t pick and consume plants unless you are certain it’s the correct species. Watch this space for herbal education, its coming! :)

🌸 December Update from the Goulds Farm

December on the farm has been all about flowers, flowers, and more flowers. We've been out wildcrafting Hawthorn, harvesting herbs (including a very surprised oregano patch when a burst of hail rolled through!), and keeping up with the never-ending rhythm of planting and weeding.

Out in the fields and even just walking the streets and trails around Hobart and Tasmania it feels like nature has turned the colour dial right up. Everything is blooming, bright, and incredibly beautiful at the moment. Have you noticed it too?

We're often reminded how special this work is... right up until a Hawthorn spike gets you or your hands freeze in the early morning air.

And for those patiently waiting... a new batch of Calendula is coming soon, we promise 🌼

🌟 We’re feeling bright in the Apothecary at the moment our shelves are glowing with an abundant supply of Seven Sisters Beeswax Candles, Suz E Bee’s hand-poured creations and Happy Flame candles. We love them not only because they’re gorgeous and decorative, but because they’re lovingly crafted here in Tasmania and Australia. It’s nice to consider beeswax candles as a healthier and low tox option to other candles which often contain synthetic fragrances.

Beeswax is a precious material. You may have heard of the Varroa mite, a pest that damages or destroys bee colonies. This has created significant challenges for beekeepers across Australia from reduced hive numbers to increased costs for monitoring and treatment. These flow-on effects tighten the supply of bees and beeswax, which is why you may have noticed beeswax candles are often more expensive than other candle types and have increased in price over the last few years.

This makes us even more grateful for the bees’ hard work and for the beautiful work of the candlemakers we stock. Pure beeswax burns cleaner and brighter than many other waxes and carries a soft, natural honeyed aroma that brings a gentle warmth to any space.

Pop by if you’d like a little glowing gift for yourself or a loved one 🐝🕯✨

Looking for a filling snack idea? Or need a nut-free option for school or the workplace?

Try Bec’s seedy crackers they are delicious, nourishing and versatile.
Packed with pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, chia, ground flaxseeds, sesame seeds, rosemary, thyme and your favourite spices. These crackers are crunchy, tasty, and the perfect companion for hummus, dips, zesty pesto or simply enjoy on their own. 🤩

What makes them great?

They’re full of nutrient-dense whole foods, easy to adapt to your taste and needs, simple to make and they stay crisp for weeks when stored in an airtight container.
⭐ Omega-3s support brain health, hormones and reduce inflammation.
⭐Plant-based protein supports metabolic functions, energy levels and reduce sugar cravings.
⭐Dietary fibre supports gut health and assists in stabilising blood sugar.

Recipe:

Ingredients
• ¼ cup each of your chosen seeds: flax, chia, pumpkin, sunflower, sesame (or swap in your favourites)
• 1 cup warm water
• Herbs, spices and flavours of choice (e.g. thyme, rosemary, fennel seeds, mustard seeds, nigella, chilli, nutritional yeast, garlic)
• ¼ tsp salt

Method
1. Combine all ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
2. Rest for 15–30 minutes (longer if your water is cool) to allow the seeds to absorb moisture.
3. Spread the mixture thinly and evenly onto a baking tray lined with baking paper, avoid holes for best results.
4. Bake at 150°C for 20 minutes.
5. Check, slice into your preferred cracker shapes, gently flip them to the other side, and bake for a further 15–30 minutes until firm.
6. If needed, bake slightly longer, just avoid over-browning. The crackers will continue to crisp as they cool.

Enjoy! 😊
