May Showers Bring June Flowers?
It’s raining again today, and although it is damp and cool, life outdoors is growing and changing constantly at an alarming rate. It’s amazing to think how only a few weeks ago there was still snow on the ground. Our monarch flag proudly welcomes visitors to this year’s garden display and we anxiously await the return of our winged wonders. The milkweed has not yet emerged from its sleep, but it will only be a matter of days before it pokes through the soil ready to feed the monarch caterpillars. Spring is a new beginning and with it comes new adventures and opportunities. We will be expanding our gardens again this year by planting 70 more lavender plants and incorporating more calendula and chamomile – two widely used medicinal herbs that are used in many of our products.

We also have plans to create a new herb drying space – one which will be accessible to our visitors! There are other surprises in the works, but for now we will embrace this season as our gardens come to life with vigour. Won’t you join us!

The Four Generations of the Monarch Butterfly
The monarch butterfly's epic migration isn't completed by one butterfly — it's a relay passed across four generations. Three short-lived generations sprint north over spring and summer, while a fourth "super generation" lives months longer and flies thousands of miles south to overwinter, restarting the cycle each spring.
