i love the natural art that washes up on the shorelines. we just have to pay attention and the world is an art gallery, free to everyone.

one of my favourite short hikes is out to Hell's Point, near Hirtles Beach. there's a cranberry bog, although it's not very productive this year with the drought. and some of the biggest wave action on the south shore (the three sisters).

also spotted some sea plantain, a relative of broad and narrow leaf plantains, all in the Plantaginaceae family. this variety is okay with getting its roots in salty water occasionally. I don't know if it has the same medicinal benefits of the other plantains, but I expect it would be mucilaginous and soothing to mucous membranes.

take the time to feed your soul when you can... we are here for a short time....

If you could add just one thing to your diet to improve digestion, energy levels, and the health of your bones, connective tissues, hair and skin, why wouldn't you? A tablespoon of herbal infused apple cider vinegar, in water or on a salad daily, can do all that and more!

Unpasteurized apple cider vinegar (ACV) is probiotic and increases digestive enzymes to help us break down and absorb essential vitamins and minerals from our food.

Infusing ACV with nutrient-dense herbs like nettles, red clover, raspberry leaf, horsetail and rose hips packs even more healthful goodness into every tablespoon!

Horsetail is more than 25% silica, an essential component of connective tissues, hair and nails. Rose hips and raspberry leaf are high in Vitamin C, and nettles and red clover are rich in iron, calcium, potassium, magnesium and many of the trace minerals that are so hard to get from our modern diet.

This herbal vinegar contains healthy doses of calcium, iron, potassium, zinc, manganese, magnesium, copper, silica, selenium, phosphorus, cobalt and chromium as well as Vitamins A, C, B and E.

What are you waiting for? There are so many mineral rich herbs to choose from, probably some in your kitchen right now... rosemary, thyme, basil, garlic... Get chopping, fill a jar loosely with herbs and add vinegar. Put wax paper between the jar and a metal lid to prevent corrosion. Let sit for a month or so, shaking every few days, then strain and enjoy.

Or come find me this Sunday at the West Dublin Market, 10 until 1. I'll have herbal vinegar and other herbal allies, including elderberry syrup made from local berries and local honey, and immun-i-tea to support your winter wellness.

super happy with the colour and flavour of this herbal vinegar, composed of nettle leaf, raspberry leaf, horsetail, red clover blossoms and rose hips in organic apple cider vinegar. rich in minerals and also helps the body to uptake vital minerals from food, nourishing the blood, liver and digestion and elimination systems.

was blessed twice this fall with offers to harvest elderberries from friends who just can't find the time in their busy lives to pick and process the berries... a very time consuming task getting the tiny berries off the tiny stems! thank you so much to Kim Starr for this very full, very ripe basket of berries! Some of these went into alcohol for tinctures, but most went into the freezer for making syrup in the winter, to keep our immune systems strong and the viruses at bay.

so much gratitude for our plant elders who have been keeping us well and nourishing our bodies and spirits since the first humans evolved on mother earth. 🌿

The change of seasons for me means time to give extra support to my immune system by drinking immun-i-tea and remembering to take elderberry syrup. What do you do for your immune support? I'll be at the West Dublin market today, Sunday from 10 until 1. Stop by and say hello, there's a clothing swap happening today as well as food, herbs and crafts 😀

Fresh batch of wild elderberry syrup with hints of ginger, cinnamon and orange peel. So grateful to Montana at Lahave Regenerative Farm for letting me harvest her berries in exchange for syrup. You can get some too at the West Dublin Market, Sunday (tomorrow) from 10 until 1.

I was greeted by this lovely boneset (Eupatorium perfoliatum) while harvesting berries at my friend Montana's farm this week. It's probably named after break bone fever (Dengue fever) as it's very helpful for relieving fevers where the muscles ache and the bones feel hot (steaming bone fevers). It got me thinking about the next season, cold and flu season, so I brewed a pot of immun-i-tea for the market this morning. Come join me for a cup or take some home. West Dublin market 10 til one today, Sunday.

Mullein, St. John's Wort and Yarrow are a triplet that combine well together. Mullein and St. John's Wort are both used for nerve pain, and Yarrow for its anti-inflammatory properties (all three plants have many other medicinal uses). Love seeing these helpers happily co-habitating along the shoreline.

Come join me at the West Dublin Market tomorrow, Sunday, 10 until 1, for some herbal lemonade. I'll have lots of herbal remedies to check out, and there will be veggies, baked goods, crafts and maybe meats. And coffee and great folks!

Thankful for the Blue Rocks shoreline in this hot dry season, and for Bluenose II sail-bys. 🦈

A herbalist that I have been following for several years, Sevensong, is offering this Lyme workshop in Halifax next Tuesday evening... he's a very engaging speaker and this is a hot topic, not to be missed! Register here: https://bloominstitute.ca/

After a busy weekend took a self care day to harvest black currants, mullein flowers, yarrow and some poppy flower heads that I hope to be able to get seeds from for planting. The mullein flowers went directly into sunflower oil to infuse for several weeks. The strained oil can then be used to help relieve nerve pain, especially ear aches in children. Hope you all are enjoying this brilliant stretch of sunshine 🌞. The plants sure are.
