The Garden is traveling here and there.
People from different places and origins participated in the traditional herbal medicine workshop, which took place at the end of February. Some carried their own herbal traditions with them, others attended with eyes wide open and ears pricked, as a new world appeared in front of them.
However they may understood herbs, plants create bridges between the places they left behind or went across and places of arrival or destination.
All herbs grow on the same earth. They are been taken care of with tenderness by weathers, landscapes, humans, other plants and animals.
Plants offer the common ground between us all.
And as one of the more experienced herbalists and teachers recently mentioned in a herbal conference, “plants like to travel – and their only means for migration is through their relationship to us”.
[But lest we forget: these workshops are not meant exclusively for refugees. More precisely, they are – similarly to flower remedies sessions – attended by locals as well. Everyone is welcome!
This was the 2nd herbal medicine workshop organised in collaboration with Be Aware And Share – BAAS. More to follow.]
