Plant, Rock, and Pots Request for the People’s Apothecary
Monday, September 7, 2020 at 8:03PM Hello Islanders,
The ThINCpod would like to place a call for plants, rocks, and pots!
Our exciting People’s Apothecary project, located at Carolyn Askew’s kindly donated garden near the North Cove/Pilkey Point junction, is moving into its next phase this month.
Once the weather is cooler and kinder on our leafy friends, we will begin the planting of our medicinals!
Given that it is a People’s Apothecary, we would love to source as many of our plants locally as possible and make this project a true community collaboration.
We are looking to obtain seeds/cuttings for the following:
Lavender
Mint
Rosemary
Plantain
Self-heal (aka All-heal)
Lemon balm
Borage
Sage
Mullein
Comfry
Motherwort
Mugwort
Figwort
Skullcap
Yarrow
Valerian
Elderberry
Sweet woodruff
Common bearberry
Chicory
Goldenrod
Pearly everlasting
Coltsfoot
Black Hawthorn
Thyme
Oregano
Bee balm
Calendula
Queen Anne’s Lace
Bay tree
Bunchberry
Rock rose
Labrador Tea
Willow
St. John’s Wort
Anise hissup
Canadian buffaloberry
Lamb’s quarters
Hollyhock
Hibiscus (Rose Mallow)
Please contact us at cfesnoux@gmail.com if you would like to donate. If you have any seeds/cuttings of a plant known to have medicinal properties that is not on the above list, feel free to check with us about whether it would be a good fit for the project.
In addition, we are also looking for larger clay/ceramic pots to help rein in the more aggressive herbs (e.g. mint and lemon balm!) and rocks to line the path. So if anyone has pots they would like to donate and/or an abundance of ~ fist-sized stones that they would like taken off their hands, please get in touch. We are happy to swing by and pick them up, or you can leave them by the yellow flag marker just in front of the Apothecary, located on the side of the North Cove Rd at Lot #62, just past the old white heritage house and before Carolyn’s.
Thank you all—stay tuned for news on a possible garden tour in October!
Sincerely,
The ThINCpod Team
