Lynne and Karin learning how to propagate

cutting of Rosemary, Wild Rosemary, Sage, Mint, Oregano, Lavender and Winter Savory.

The focus in the June workshop was on plant propagation.  This type of propagation is known as slipping or cutting from soft wood. This is an excellent way to multiply your plants. The new plant will be an exact clone of the parent plant.

 

Good luck ladies, I hope to have some feed back from you soon.

There will be no workshop for July.

Bookings are now open for 2 August. Book your place now.

Luscious Lipped Sage

This Luscious Lip Sage was found growing abundantly near the Sacred Crystal Caves. It is an aromatic hardy shrub which flowers over a long period of time. It grows not far from the sea and is often a common constituent of the vegetation on coastal sand dunes. It is found along the shores of South Africa.

Brown sage makes an excellent tea for coughs, colds, bronchitis and female ailments (pour 1 cup of boiling water over a short (7 cm) sprig of leaves, stand for 5 minutes then strain and drink sweetened with honey. The leaves are lovely for use in potpourri as they retain their shape, colour and much of their fragrance, and mix well with other ingredients.

This is an excellent choice for coastal gardens, as it prefers light, well-drained soil and full sun, tolerates strong winds, and is drought resistant

If you are interested in increasing your psychic abilities and strengthening your spiritual power the following list of herbs, incense and essential oils will prove to be useful. Some of these items may also provide prophetic dreams and heightened awareness. Others help to improve mental clarity and strengthen your spiritual energy.

Experiment with these scents as an adjunct to meditation or prior to sleep. Or simply use them around the home to create an environment that is beneficial to the intuitive mind. These scents are commonly available in stick and cone incense form or as small bottles essential oil which can be used in oil burners to scent a room.

Many of these scents, such as cinnamon and bay leaf, can also be used in a potpourri. These scents in herb form can also be used in dream pillows or small satchels which are placed beneath your pillow at night or in a bowl on your nightstand.

One of my favourite combinations of scents used to stimulate and improve psychic abilities can be created from ingredients found at most grocery stores. Place equal parts of bay leaf, cinnamon and lemongrass into a small bowl and simply leave this somewhere in your room. The combination of scents is interesting and subtle. Inhale the aroma of this combination prior to meditation or use this to assist in intuitive or prophetic dreaming.
