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!
Summer is one of my favorite times of year here at Em's Herbals. It's harvest season! The shop fills with fresh herbs, beautiful colors, and the excitement of transforming freshly harvested plants into the handcrafted products many of you enjoy throughout the year.
There’s something almost poetic about summer—the long light, the thick green air, the hum of life in every direction. And yes… that includes the insects.
For a limited time, our locally harvested Cottonwood Bud Salve is here! One of my favorite things about herbalism is how connected it keeps us to the seasons. Certain plants only offer themselves for a brief window each year, and when they do, it feels like receiving a gift.
