Abundance, Gratitude & Invitation to 'Between Hives & Hedgerow'

08/03/2026

Part III of the Nature's Apothecary Series is coming soon:
🐝BETWEEN HIVES & HEDGEROWS🌿 at

Have you ever wondered how many healing plants are quietly growing around you?

On August 22, we'd love to invite you to spend a slow summer morning with us on the grounds of beautiful Gibbs Honey in Vankleek Hill.

Together we'll wander through the meadows and gardens, learning to recognize medicinal herbs, tasting seasonal plants, and discovering the stories and traditions behind them. 🌿

After our walk, we'll gather in the cozy barn for homemade refreshments and simple snacks, share our discoveries, create individual herbal bundles and enjoy good conversation. Of course you'll also have time to meet Andrea and browse the wonderful Gibbs Honey shop.

☀Rain or shine - we have the beautiful barn as our gathering space.

Whether you're just beginning your herbal journey or have been working with plants for years, this gathering is about slowing down, reconnecting with nature, and seeing the landscape through new eyes.

📅 Saturday, August 22
⏰ 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM
📍 Gibbs Honey, Vankleek Hill

Spaces are limited, so reserve your spot soon. We can't wait to explore with you!🌿

🌿 Mindful Garden Tasks - August in Ontario

August is a month of gratitude.

The garden is overflowing with tomatoes, herbs, beans, berries, and flowers. It has quietly nourished us all summer, and now it invites us to slow down, harvest its gifts, and care for it in return.

🍅This month, preserve what you've grown. Learn an old skill like drying herbs, fermenting vegetables, or canning tomatoes. Sow a few seeds for autumn and winter harvests, feed your soil with fresh compost, and take a gentle walk through your garden each day to notice what needs your care.

🦇As daylight slowly shortens, evenings become especially beautiful. Gather around a bonfire, listen to the orchestra of crickets, watch bats dance across the twilight sky, and if you're lucky, discover monarch caterpillars on your milkweed or hummingbirds visiting late summer blooms.

August reminds us that gardening isn't only about growing.

It's also about giving back.

As we receive the abundance of the season, we care for the soil, the wildlife, and the future harvests that are already beginning. August is not the end of the season, it's the quiet beginning of a new one.

What is your favourite August garden ritual? 🌿✨
