October Notes: “Grounding, Gathering and Growing as a Herbalist”

🌿 September Garden Notes: Falling in Love With Ourselves
As the wheel of the year turns once more, September arrives with a different kind of light — softer, lower, more golden. The days feel both full and fleeting, carrying the weight of harvest and the whisper of change. This journal continues the journey we began in July and August, tracing the lessons the garden and the seasons offer us, and how they mirror our own inner landscapes.
Garden Notes: August
August in the English garden is a time of pause and plenty. The air feels full—rich with the hum of bees, the scent of lavender warming in the sun, and the rustle of leaves as the breeze shifts gently through them. The days stretch out with generous light, inviting us to linger outdoors longer, to take slow breaths and notice how alive everything is.

Reconnecting with Nature: The Path to Emotional Balance
From a young age, we are taught to override our bodily cues—eating when we’re not hungry, raising our hands to use the bathroom, and sleeping on a schedule set by others. This disconnection can lead to emotional turmoil and a sense of disorientation that persists into adulthood. However, nature offers a remedy, a way to restore our innate connection to our bodies and the world around us.
