What a privilege to lead another Wise w**ds nature workshop and walk aka PLANT SAFARI
💐💚🩺🧪🌿

Thank you to the enthusiastic group 😁😁😁

We were especially blessed with a beautiful sunny day… and perfect walking conditions on the Aanschotse Beemden!

Even though our landscape is drier than usual we spotted many edible and medicinal plants and I shared my personal blend of health, wellness, ethno-botanical and culinary herbalism perspective.

Reach out if you have a special occasion that you would like to share with your group of friends… this is an educational and memorable way to celebrate. I would love to curate a plant safari experience for you 🤩

Flower butter -
go wild and add the rainbow of colours and nutrients to your diet with edible flowers 🤩

Made this flower butter for a recent event using petals from flowers I collected from my garden and our communal backyard, Aanschotse beemden.

Let’s follow the rainbow 🌈
Purple - borage, wild thyme, watermint, mallow
Red - Clover
Orange - Calendula
Yellow - St Johns wort
White - Meadowsweet

I used salted butter and added some extra dried herbs from home. Mash together, shape and refridgerate then serve with anything you would usually eat butter with …toast or biscuits … go wild and add the rainbow of colours and nutrients to your diet with edible flowers 💚

Elderberry - Sambucus Nigra

Yay!!! The elderberries in my garden are ripe! This is the last of my 2024 batch so the timing is perfect for the next harvest…

Making an elixir from elderberries is perfect for anyone feeling under the weather with cold and flu symptoms or to prep your immune system for the season change ahead.

Be sure to only pick the ripe ones and remove the stalks. Unripe and raw berries are slightly toxic and irritating to the gut. That is why we first cook them when we make anything from jam to an immune boosting elixir 🧪🦠🩺💜

In my book Wild Summer I feature elderberries where I share my elderberry elixir and other herbal know how. Check out my BIO for details on how to purchase my books.

Watch this space… for more plant safari’s, w**d wisdom and holistic health

Taking a non-pharmaceutical path is not for everyone but for some it could be their best option.

Elle Macpherson admits in her book: “I came to the understanding that there was no sure thing and absolutely no guarantees. There was no ‘right’ way, just the right way for me.

“I chose an holistic approach. Saying no to standard medical solutions was the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. But saying no to my own inner sense would have been even harder,” she writes.

“Sometimes an authentic choice from the heart makes no sense to others … but it doesn’t have to. People thought I was crazy but I knew I had to make a choice that truly resonated with�me. To me, that meant addressing emotional as well as physical factors associated with breast cancer. It was time for deep, inner reflection. And that took courage.”

Eindhoven friends 📣

Having a staycation?

What to do on a cloudy day in July?

I recommend picking blueberries at Blauwe Bessencultuur van Grotel

Now for making all things 🫐… vinegar, smoothies, pie or eating them just like that!

Blueberries are packed with nutrients that support our brains and circulation… and they are good for dogs too!

🥧💙💜😋
