Location: The People's Apothecary Garden, Lot 62
This week's harvest: The stars of the garden right now are Wild Bergamot (Bee Balm), Borage, and Blue Vervain - all at their peak and not to be missed. And a special treat this week - thanks to Aimee van Drimmelen, we'll have some fresh St. John's Wort on hand! A beloved medicinal herb, St. John's Wort is best known for its mood-lifting properties and its use in supporting the nervous system during times of stress and low mood. It is also a wonderful topical remedy for nerve pain and skin healing.
