Wild lettuce, cut fresh in the garden this morning. Heiko, our head gardener, harvests it in full bloom, which is the window during which it can be dried. Leave it any longer, and the plant runs to seed, and the seed gets everywhere. #herbalmedicine #medicalherbalism

Ireland’s legacy is not only one of faith and story, but of preservation — of learning, literacy, and the quiet work of keeping knowledge alive in uncertain times. Inspired by Thomas Cahill and Dr Aoibheann nic Dhonnchadha. Happy St Patrick’s Day!

Two of the most commercially sensible herbs to grow in Ireland? Nettles and dandelions. Low establishment cost. Strong productivity. Potential return within year one.

🌿 “Everyone should have a pot of nettles on the windowsill.” Nettles thrive in the Irish climate, are in huge demand, and are mostly imported. With a simple drying setup, they can become a viable local crop. Not a weed — an opportunity. #Nettles #MedicinalHerbs #IrishGrowing
