April Blog Party Announcement

I have the honor of hosting this months U K Herbarium blog party! I have chosen for a theme Spring Wild foraging/Wild crafting and Spring Herbal Gardening I am hoping that everyone who wants to be able to participate has a spot they can forage in, but if not, I think by including the herbal gardening in the theme all should definitely be able to participate who want to:)

If you have your own blog, then add your post before April 20th and email me the link at honeylover at care2 dot com– I’ll post all the links on this blog that evening. If you don’t have your own blog and want to participate, you can email your submission as a word document to Debs at the UK Herbarium , debs at herbal-haven dot co dot uk  and she will add it the UK Herbarium blog as a guest post.

I realize that not everywhere in the world is it feeling very spring like yet, and some of you might even still have snow, so if it isn’t quite time for you to garden or forage yet, still feel free to post about past adventures or ones you have plans for. The same applies to gardening. I look forward to any new tips, recipes or other ideas you come up with to share! P1010008

My foraging basket has been waiting all winter to get back at in nature! lol

Herbal and Honey hugs to all who visit Comfrey Cottages xx

Hi Leslie, I would like to participate. But do not know how.
Is it okay if I post a recipe with elderflower along with photos. And a few other pictures of plants or seeds?

Big herbalhugs to you xxx

This sounds like fun!!! Just give me a 'POKE' every now and then, I tend to forget about things and easily get distracted -- but I'd love joining in with everyone who participates, we all have so much to learn about one another's Herbal adventures! This is just the beginning for me in continuing on with the wonderful world of Herbalism xo

Finally the Spring rains are falling and the ground is visible here! Hopefully there will be something to forage by then, but if not - there is always the garden :)

Leslie, I had carpal tunnel surgery this past Monday. Everything went well and now that I have the stitches out, I feel great. Still have to take it easy for another week, but I am going back to work tomorrow. I've missed you in blog land...
Take care,
Anke
