Spring 2023 Newsletter
Happy Springtime!
The days are growing longer, and temperatures are slooowly warming up in the lovely Pacific Northwest.
We’re excited about new developments in our business:
• The transformation of our website is proceeding well, with improvements to both appearance and user functionality, especially for wholesale customers.
• We’ve connected with a new local grower, a specialist in herbs and flowers, and we’re looking forward to a crop of very fresh Calendula Flowers from her fields. She also grows a bit of Chamisso Arnica (A. chamissonis), a North American native plant which is easier to grow than the better-known Arnica montana, and considered interchangeable with A. montana for medicinal purposes
• We’ll be coming out with new labels for our tea blends and essential oils later this year.
• We have a new sales associate on staff, Tami, who’s catching on quick, and our shop’s operating on regular business hours, 9-5 Monday-Friday.
• We’re quite pleased to be exhibiting our wares and meeting folks at the Bellingham Center for Spiritual Living’s Mind Body Spirit Fair, Saturday, July 22, our first public event in over three years.
• Our Spring Cleansing sale, ten percent off all of our tea blends and bulk herbs, continues through the end of this month.
Rejoice! Winter is over, and the seeds are starting to sprout!
From all of us at Em’s Herbals, we’re wishing you a peaceful and nourishing Winter Solstice. Today marks the longest night of the year. The sun reaches the deepest part of winter’s tunnel, and from here, it begins its slow and steady return. Longer days are ahead, and with them, a quiet promise of renewal, growth, and spring to come.
Our Winter Nourish Collection was created with this season in mind. It features a thoughtfully selected group of certified organic herbs that herbalists have long turned to during the colder months — for grounding, digestion, resilience, calm, and overall balance.
At Em’s Herbals, we have a deep appreciation for plants that not only support wellness but also remind us of nature’s quiet brilliance — and St. John’s Wort is one of those truly special herbs.
