Today I spent a lovely morning at the Garden of St Erth in Blackwood, and came home not only refreshed from the hours spent in this beautiful garden, but excited as I came home with plants!
Not just anything but the first plantings for my Tibetan Medicine garden.
Where I live is quite high (in terms of the Australian landscape anyway) and a very cool climate, so the Himalayan plants do very well in this region. In fact many of the prized gardens on Mount Macedon have some wonderful specimen trees from areas of the Himalayas. So it has been in my mind for a while to plant some of these trees and shrubs not just for interest but to harvest for use in my TTM practice. Of course finding them is the trick!
Today I came home with:
- Juniper - used in the Lum or bath therapy
- Schezuan Pepper - used in simple medicines and as an aid to digestion
- Pomegranate - the very best plant for the digestion, very warming
