Happy Herbing Ladies

Well look what we’ve been up to during this horrible time we all find ourselves in. You must know by now that we’re certainly not ones for sitting around doing nothing and we felt this was a perfect opportunity to share our love with others, so they could have something positive to focus on and maybe even learn something new. The idea was to give women who were struggling something fun to do SO why not try herbs? cooking with them, trying them out in teas to help aliments such as anxiety or insomnia.

We set about thinking what we had and what we’d need. We had some old pallets-paint and ideas. We needed herbs (lots of) and tins (again lots of). Our local council are giving grants to groups to help people so we got the money for the herbs TICK! We posted on Facebook asking friends/family and neighbours if they’d keep their tin cans TICK!

Everything in hand we contacted the Job Centre to ask if they had any customers who they felt would benefit from having a herb box? YES they had lots. So we ordered our herbs from an amazing company called Herbal Haven - they grow ALL herbs and are well worth a look - www.herbalhaven.com - and then we began to construct the boxes and collect tin cans.

To date we’ve constructed 25 boxes and handed them out to as many women, along with some tips on how to make herbal teas and what herbs to put in what dishes and we’ve set up a mailchimp group for the women to send in their pics of how things are going.

It’s been a fair bit of sweat and tears (no blood thankfully) at times BUT we’ve loved every minute of it and sincerely hope each and every woman enjoys their herbs x
