March in the Gardens
utside, it’s still the colour of winter - grey and brown (apart from the blooming daffodils) - but inside, the soil is a healthier, richer colour, striped with row after neat row of leaves in a myriad of green.
Birch Sap: The Ingredient Edit
Water is drawn from the earth by simple osmosis; it literally runs up through their veins. This rising sap can be collected and gives us for instance, maple syrup, while at Thyme, we draw birch sap. Very slightly sweet, it can only be collected on a few early spring days.
Nettle: The Ingredient Edit
The humble stinging nettle has a rich history. It has long been believed that originally stinging nettles were brought to the UK by the Romans for use as a natural remedy to fight ailments caused by the cold.
Nettle Soup with a Poached Egg
A delicious twist on this remedial recipe! Nettles have been known to support us with an array of ailments so this is a great option for when the immune system is feeling weak.
Botanical Bedroom Designs
The first step with the design of any of our bedrooms has been to select a herb or flower, inspiring our colour scheme and thematic of the room.
