Elderflowers are bloomin' in abundance this year which means lots of creations can be made!

One of our favorites is this elderflower cordial recipe. It is so delicious mixed with carbonated water and would most likely make a great cocktail.

If you have harvest some elderflowers I definitely recommend making it- super easy and soooo tasty!

Fresh nettles make the best pesto! I am so happy they are ready to harvest.

Here’s my recipe:

4 cloves of garlic
4 cups of nettle leaves
3/4 cup pumpkin seeds
1 cup nutritional yeast
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup olive oil

Blanch nettle leaves in boiling water for up to two minutes. Strain and cool.

Throw the pumpkin seeds, garlic, olive oil in food processor and blitz. Then add nettles, salt, lemon juice and blitz again. Lastly, add in nutritional yeast and blitz.

You may need to add more salt or lemon juice to suit your taste buds!!!

Enjoy!! 💚

Taking a few minutes to take in the little ‘waterfall’ on the land. Busy days are ahead as the plant world emerges and seeds are sown. But it will be so nice to be able to spend time with my plant friends once again! 🌼

Checking on some buds today… horse chestnut tree survived for now, it is small but mighty. The other ones seemed to have been a snack for someone. 😳. The schisandra vines are full of buds!! Yay!!

Balsam poplar update- not ready to harvest… the buds are not very plump yet but I am getting the tiniest aroma from them so the time to harvest will soon be upon us.

Sippin’ on holy basil + calendula tea grown in the Bear Roots garden and realizing how much I miss being around all the lovely plants.

While I’m working in the gardens sweating to death, being eaten alive by black flies and cursing the persistent porcupines I wonder if I’ll do it again next year…. who am I kidding the answer is always going to be yes.

All the annoyances come with some amazing rewards; the best of all is being able to spend time amongst nature enjoying all of its magic 💚

A close second is being able to share the plants with other people 🌸

Wishing you a Happy & Healthy Holidays 😊
