Our little online apothecary has just been updated and our fire cider is back in stock for those of you waiting on the next batch 🔥🍎 It’s beautiful blend of our garden herbs and flowers and our apple cider vinegar, bringing the best of healthful medicinal plants and food together 🍎 We use lemons, rosemary (in my skirt in the next picture, the best way to carry produce of course), garlic, ginger, echinacea, peppercorns and more. After steeping these herbs in our apple cider vinegar it creates a firey tonic which is immune boosting and fortifying, while also being so delicious which is truly the best kind of medicine.. it’s one of our favourite folk remedies, that’s also really fun to make if you want to create your own 🔥 We also have a new body oil made with mugwort, yarrow and lavender ready too (you can read more at our website if you’re interested, but I’ll chat more about that one soon 🌿) and of course hand salve too 🌼

Glimpses of springtime 🌾🤍

🌼 midsummer sunshine for cold winter days 🌼 .. .. I’ve added one of my favourite flower remedies to our online shop this week ! I’m so excited to get to share it for anyone who is interested and feels called to this herbal flower oil medicine ✨ .. .. 🌼St John’s Wort Warming + Soothing Body Oil🌼 .. .. This beautiful red-gold oil has become something I use every day now. I never used body oils much in the past, just salves really, until learning a few years ago from @mythicmedicine about the healing that oiling your body can bring. It has been such a blessing to learn about this (her Medicine Stories podcast has many episodes discussing body oiling so to find out more definitely head there to learn 🧡) and it works more effectively for me than tinctures and herbal teas. So I’ve been making my own since with organic olive oil infused with the St John’s wort flowers that we gather once a year each summer. In the second slide you can see a (very real) photo taken by @lilypilllie on a hot midsummer December day, early in the morning after harvesting before the heat set in. I’m looking at the flowers like they’re my literal newborn, that’s how much I love this medicine and get excited about this one time of the year that they’re in flower ! 🌼 While still fresh, the flowers were infused to create this deeply restorative, warming and calming oil. It can be massaged on to skin in any areas holding tension, body aches or frayed nerves. We also find it works like magic when the kids are experiencing growing pains at night. It can be used as an all-over body oil after a shower or bath for soothing and protective nourishment for your skin and nervous system too. When massaged in, it is quite magical to experience the feeling of calm, warmth and revival it brings. My favourite remedy for sure on dark winter evenings. It’s such a sunny and giving flower, one of my favourites and all the more special for blooming just once a year on the summer solstice 🌼 . . #plantmagic #herbaloil #stjohnswort #folkremedy #bodyoiling

Flowers at the roadside stall today ✨ and you’ll find more bunches like these with our apple stall at the Druids Avenue market on Sunday ! 🍎 @stirlingmarket I’m also working on a new offering with a new way to get beautiful bunches of spring flowers delivered to your door and I’m so excited to be announcing that soon! Have a lovely day everyone and enjoy this gorgeous restorative sunshine 🌞

🌼Winter flowering calendula🌼 If you’re looking for something to plant in autumn to bring some brightness and warmth over the winter months, calendula is perfect - the flowers so sunny and beautiful and will bloom even when it’s so cold outside 🌼 the petals are edible (@ottimade uses them to adorn her incredible sourdough bread 💛), and the flowers have beautiful healing properties too. Their resinous scent and feel (the more resinous the variety, the more potent and medicinal) points to their ability to soothe and knit the skin back together 💛 a homemade salve is simple and so effective too- I’ll put a basic recipe in the comments, but you can find many better detailed ones if you feel called to discover more 💛 Calendula is the most sunny, kind and healing friend to have in the veggie patch or in pots, and so cheerful on dark and stormy days when all else is dormant; a reminder that even in this season of rest and quiet, there is warmth and joy to be found 🌼 And also, speaking of kindness, I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who helped me out and replied to my last post! It has given me a lot to consider and I’m so grateful to live in such a supportive and encouraging community who care about small family businesses and who help each other thrive 💛 thank you all 💛

🍂 to all our beautiful customers, I would love to hear from you! 🍂 I have been working on our offerings for the coming season, and if you’re someone who enjoys our flowers I’d love to know: how would you like to get them? I’m currently rethinking our roadside stall, so I’m wondering: Would you like it if you could get our flowers delivered more easily? Find them at more markets? A bouquet subscription services? Or find them at a local hills cafe or shop? Or maybe, a different kind of offering altogether.. ? Thank you so much, I’d love to hear any thoughts you might have 🧡 P.s flowers out at the Piccadilly stall still tomorrow, plus Uraidla market on Sunday ✨✨✨

A note on our wedding offerings and the beginning of some shifts in how we work and create 🍂 there are changes behind the scenes at the moment, slowly forming, and this is the beginning of our new and more aligned direction 🧡 So this for season and the coming ones, I will be making flowers for only a handful of weddings; creating just for those couples who are looking for magic garden blooms with elements like foliage, berries, herbs, native flowers, seedpods and wild flowers. I will be making one-of-a-kind designs, grown and made with all my love and care. If you are having wedding and would like bridal party flowers (and perhaps some table and cake arrangements too), you are so welcome to email me and we can chat wild flowers 🌼 and if your brief is right and we feel like a good match (I’m not everyone’s cup of tea and that’s totally okay!) I would be honoured to create some flower magic for your day 🍂🌼🌾 get in touch: rosie@theroseandradish.com.au Beautiful capture of my gorgeous friend Gab @hunter_gatherer_maker, with her bouquet made by me, by Maddie of @love_fool_photography #underthefloralspell

🍂 dahlia dividing season 🍂 I’m a little behind the times, but I’ve just started digging up some of my dahlia rows ready for storage before dividing in the springtime. There are a heap of different ways to go about it; my way definitely isn’t best practice, but it’s been the way I find easiest: I dig up the tubers, stack them in crates with the dirt still on them, then dust them off in the spring, divide them where I can see they have begun to shoot, and plant them. This isn’t a recommended method by many as 1) it takes up a lot of storage space 2) the dirt can potentially harbour damaging microbes and 3) the original tuber can rot and cause havoc for the rest of the tubers. However, it actually still is my favourite way because 1) I don’t get exhausted and freeze my hands washing them in the wintertime 2) the dirt is a good insulator to regulate the temperature and humidity for the tubers and they don’t dry out and 3) I can see easily where to divide the tubers as I’m not guessing where the good eyes are and potentially choosing the wrong one (some people are great at dividing in autumn/winter, but I find it a little tricky). Most growers have a little more sophistication, @littletriffidsflowers has an excellent explainer series in their story highlights (click through the dahlia highlight) if you’d like to see a really good alternative way 🍂 And finally- I have a few dahlia rows I won’t be replanting next season - if anyone is keen on varieties including iceberg, breannon, tropical dream and smokey downs early spring I’ll have bundles of mixed tubers available then 🍂✨

🍂 Sunday Market 🍂 The Stirling Market @stirlingmarket has reopened and we will be there this Sunday ! We are so excited to be bringing our offerings to our stall under the Druids Avenue oaks 🍂 We’ll have winter apples to press and make mulled apple juice, plus bundles of flowers, fire cider and homegrown herbal remedies too. The last few weeks and months (and in fact year) have been full of all kinds of challenges for our little family, but we are getting there bit by bit and looking forward to gathering our creative energy to make with produce from the garden and orchards. It will be wonderful to get to connect with our community again 🍂 Hope to see you there 🧡
