We are always delighted to welcome Rose to Thyme. She is a functional medicine practitioner working with clients around the globe to enhance their wellbeing.

A simply dressed plate of seasonal leaves picked that morning is a delight to all senses, but it’s important to remember just how much work goes into producing what seems at first to be a very simple offering.

The brain and gut are intimately connected through a complex system of nerves called the autonomic nervous system, the sympathetic responsible for the ‘fight or flight’ stress response and the para sympathetic (the vagus nerve) responsible for ‘rest & digest’ calming and quietening the body. 

We are delighted to partner with Hadeda this festive season, with an African themed Christmas at Thyme telling the story of our 'Golden Thread' that links the wild spaces at Thyme to those of sub-Saharan Africa.

The exhibition documents Jemma’s recent trip to Kenya as an ambassador for Tusk.  The title, The Golden Thread, is inspired by Caryn Hibbert’s (founder and creative director of Thyme), observations and writing on the migratory birdlife in the Water Meadow at Thyme, which travel between sub-Sahara Africa and the meadows here at Thyme, making vital connections between continents.

Edward Bulmer, the founder of Edward Bulmer Natural Paint, has over 30 years of experience designing interiors. His expertise as one of the nation's foremost architectural historians lead him to believe the future lies in the return to natural materials, especially paint.

Jane Hammond’s botanical collages offer a re-interpretation of the painterly tradition of botanical art. Whilst the spectacular arrangements of flowers, grasses and seeds, accompanied by insects and birds are curiously familiar, the juxtaposition of images from a myriad of places and time results in works that are entirely original.
