A Plant Your Own Nervine
Spring Equinox is a time for planting seeds, both literally and figuratively. We will set up a table all day, provide seeds from two of the herbs included in our new Nervine print, Clary Sage (Salvia sclarea) and Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis), soil, seed starter pots, care instructions and any supplies you might need to add a written intention to your new plant baby.
Introducing the Nervine Print
Our Nervine print is a collaboration with our favorite flower illustrator and friend Meg Adamson. It illustrates our favorite herbal allies called nervines that sooth the nervous system & calm the mind. Their scientific names are featured in cursive along side pollinating honey bees. We created the nervine medicine dresses for added support when you need it.
Herbs featured: *California Poppy (Eschscholzia californica), *Chamomile (Matricaria recutita), *Skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora), *Clary Sage (Salvia sclarea), *Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalisis), *Passion Flower (Passiflora incarnata), *Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) and *Linden (Tilia europea)
