Calendula flowers blooming in abundance. We pick a Calendula flowers blooming in abundance. We pick a round of flowers daily, some we dry for future teas and topical skin washes. We’ll wilt some (less water means less likelihood of mold) and infuse in oils, in part to make into cream. We’ll infuse some in alcohol for tincture. And, eat some in salads. Some will escape us and go to seed, falling to the ground to start we plants in the same spot next year. #calendula #edibleflower #medicine #herbalmedicine #naturalskincare
A slice of the ganoderma tsugae before it was chop A slice of the ganoderma tsugae before it was chopped up further to become tincture. Makes one ponder on layers of rock, of earth. Of deep time stretching back. #ganoderma #deeptime #medicinemaking
Making medicine with this beautiful gift of ganode Making medicine with this beautiful gift of ganoderma tsugae, a relation of Reishi. We cut it up into little bites and mostly made tincture. The rest we dried and will use in the winter for immune boosting broths. #ganodermatsugae #ganoderma #immunesupport #immunehealth #anticancer #herbalmedicine

We made the hard decision that we wouldn't offer t We made the hard decision that we wouldn't offer the Sacred Gardener School this year. We postponed in hopes that it might look like a viable, possible thing once that time came, but once it did, it didn't. So, we've set dates for next year, in hopes we'll all be able to gather then. We are profoundly grateful that many of those who had committed to come this year, have also committed to come next year. So, at this point the School starting in 2021 is 80% full, and early bird registration is now open. Send us a PM for more information, or visit our website, thesacredgardener.ca.

Harvesting basil to make pesto, first round. We ha Harvesting basil to make pesto, first round. We harvest the tops, blend with some garlic from last year’s crop, toasted sunflower seeds, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, lemon juice and salt. We put it in 250ml jars with a layer of olive oil on top to seal it, which prevents mold growing on the pesto that we’ll keep in the fridge. The rest goes into the freezer for another time. #basil #pesto #herbs #foodpreservation #puttingfoodby #growyourown #wildculture
Creating our summer infused vinegar. 44 herbs gath Creating our summer infused vinegar. 44 herbs gathered at their floral peak and sunk into apple cider vinegar for 6 weeks to harness their divine flavour and medicine. This vinegar becomes the secret ingredient in our salad dressings, sauces, dips, soups, stir fries.. everything. How sweet it is to open the jar throughout the coming year and breathe in this time of year. Beauty. #herbalmedicine #vinegar #infusedvinegar #ferments #summer #preservingsummer #foodpreservation #flowers
