Alice recently visited the allotment in Cookham to meet some local residents and share her knowledge of herbs and food growing with the community

It’s such a joy to see how simple plants can bring nourishment, balance, and a deeper connection to nature.

As the summer holidays draw to a close and we ease back into routines, sometimes we all need a little pick-me-up.

That’s where our Boost Tea comes in 🌿

Benefits of Boost Tea:
- Naturally immune-supporting elderflower
- Comforting for colds, sore throats & chesty days
- A warming, caffeine-free brew for any time of day

Simply add boiling water and let it infuse for at least 10 minutes for the perfect cup. No milk or sugar needed – just pure, herbal goodness.

✨ Elderberry Season ✨

Elderberries are true little powerhouses - packed with vitamins, antioxidants, and beneficial compounds. Traditionally loved for their ability to support the immune system, ease cold & flu symptoms, and even help heart health, these deep purple berries are a seasonal treasure.

Now is the perfect time to harvest elderberries, and we’re already looking forward to preparing our own elderberry syrup, ready to support immunity through the Autumn and Winter months. 🍂❄️

A gentle reminder: please forage mindfully and leave plenty for the birds, who rely on them too.

And if you’d like to enjoy their benefits year-round, you’ll also find elderberries blended into our Serenity and Soothe teas – crafted to nourish and comfort with every sip.
