Happy Sahmain!
As we welcome the Gaelic festival of Sahmain we are marking the transition towards the darker phase of the year. All around us trees are dropping their leaves and our natural landscapes are starting to become bare echoing the themes of death and dormancy that this festival carries.

During this time the veil between the living world and the spirit world is very thin, so has typically been a time when we can connect with our ancestors and communicate with the dead. In folklore it’s believed that seeing a Robin is a sign of a deceased loved one coming to visit “When robins appear, loved ones are near”.

At this time we are remembering and giving thanks to all the witches, healers and medicine people who were vilified and violently murdered throughout the 15th to 18th century witch hunts in England. Many modern halloween traditions have framed witches as wicked crones casting evil spells instead of casting a light on those who were persecuting and murdering them. It seems history has a habit of repeating itself, with those who hold too much power being able to cruelly vilify innocent people. Sending strength and love to all those around the world facing unfathomable violence for simple being alive 🧡🧡🍉🍉

Our community 🧡
You’ve probably noticed we’ve been having a few birthday events to celebrate turning 10 this year. Back in August, we organised a birthday get together for our community members and special friends. It was so special to bring together team members past and present along with community members from across the entire timeline of HH. There was a huge amount of love in the room as some of us shared what Hackney Herbal means to us. We had a delicious Palestinian feast cooked for us by Mayya from and 2 beautiful cakes made by Iva

It’s these moments which really remind us why we do the work that we do even when it’s felt quite hard over the last few years navigating the post brexit, post covid, cost of living crisis landscape. Combined with a state of the world that makes it’s harder and harder to feel inspired, optimistic and motivated. Being together like this reinforces how special and supportive our little community is and is the best medicine for the times we are in. Thank you to everyone who has been involved along the way. Hackney Herbal is what it is because of you. 💚🧡

Early autumn feels 🍃🍂
Leaning in to the changing season, letting go of summer and embracing autumn. Spending time taking stock, enjoying the cool mornings and still warm sun when it pokes out. Making the most of the dry days and getting on with seed saving, creating bountiful stock to share in the coming season. Watching the wild creatures foraging and fattening up for winter. Chasing the pinky skies. Drinking plenty of tea. Lighting candles, gathering round fires and surrendering to the quieter times to come. Sending cosy vibes to you all 🧡

Thank you to everyone who came to our last open evening - a takeover by our Nature Club to raise funds for an overnight nature trip.
The event was filled with joy, laughter, play and connection. We were blessed by a double rainbow and sang songs in the dark, long after the sun went down.
🌈🌈
The group worked like busy bees to make this happen and we are so proud of what was achieved with everyone pitching in, bringing their time, energy, care and Nature Club enthusiasm! It was truly a magical evening! ✨🍀🌚

We want to say a special THANK YOU to everyone who contributed and made this event possible, from attending making sessions, donating raffle prizes, making donations and support and delivery on the day.
🌿✨
If you missed the event you can still support the fundraiser and we will keep you posted on other ways to get your hands on some special
Nature Club made products. We will have some for sale at our September event on 20th September 💚

This weekend we went on our annual trip to with our community members 🌿✨💚 We got lucky with the weather and enjoyed visiting a mixture of the long-standing glasshouses as well as some newer areas and installations. We looked around the new Carbon Garden and the Of the Oak installations. You can see some of us playing with the interactive digital installation that represents one of the mighty Luscombe Oaks. Visiting the Waterlilly House was another highlight with its magnificent colours, climbing plants and an absolutely gorgeous variety of passionflower 😍😍😍 Might have also got a new book for the HH library.

If you are a community group you can register for the Community Access Scheme and get very cheap tickets (works out as 60p per ticket).
