@@TheWeedyGarden and @Austrailan_Medicinal_Herbs this is just what I’ve been looking for! I did start taking notes on my 3x5 cards and hear at the end there’s a pdf! Just had to laugh at myself! It’s just the schoolteacher coming out….all the note taking!😁 Looking forward to the next video! ~~Lisa
Hi Weedie and Elle, thanks for this wonderful video on medicinal herbs, seems that the link is not working for the pdf, I’m having trouble downloading it. Thanks 😊
Thank you for sharing your knowledge! My best friend is a female detective in our city. It is a hugely stressful job! She also gardens as one of her stress relievers. I'm glad you got out of the profession. She looks forward to getting out, too. Your garden is thankful you can focus on it now. Many blessings to you!
Wormwood, specifically artemesia annua is an amazing antiparasitic herb as well. This variety was handed an award for helping malaria. Artemisia annua has also been used as a cancer treatment.
Thank you for mentioning Artemisia annua. Also known as Chinese Wormwood and Sweet Annie. It is actually one of the best varieties of Wormwood to use and as the name suggests it has been used for thousands of years in Chinese medicine. Not all Wormwoods are great for people to consume as some are really high in Camphor. They are indeed having wonderful success with its use in Africa for dealing with Malaria. They make is into a tea and when sick they will have it several times during the day but have found that having one or two cups of tea a week as a preventative against Malaria has been a game changer. 🙏💚
Thankyou for your comment. Yes, I have been learning more about Artemesia annua recently and there is a lot of research going into it. I think it would be wise for everyone to have it at their home, and do some research into the benefits of it, especially with the antiviral and anti-cancer properties that are being discovered around it. Elle xx
This collable was gold! I added pretty the much everything into my medicinal journal. I was a Holistic Health lecturer for many years predominantly annoying people with herbs and essential oils for decades 😅 now I have semi retired I am looking to start at the source and move my plants into a patch. It's very expensive buying bags of herbs. This video? Invaluable..fun...knowledgeable..and ty both :) Blessed Be
You missed my favorite plant, nettle. I drink a quart of infusion every 3 days. Solved sooo many issues for me, I sometimes add dried dandelion flowers, dried kale leaves or grape leaves.. I grow most of these and use them as needed. Lovely video, thank you from an Oregon gardener.😊
Oh I love nettle! It is so supportive for so many things! Hopefully we can talk all things nettle in a future episode. I love that nettle is useful internally and externally, and all parts are beneficial. It is a shame it is maligned as a 'weed' when it is so incredibly beneficial if you know how to use it. Your tea sounds very helpful! Much love, Elle xx
I’m m loving your channel and guests Weedy. The antiviral properties of Lemon balm healed a cold sore in 2 days and was brilliant with echinacea flowers as a tea when cvid struck. Off I go now plant wormwood in the chook yard 🐓🐓🐓🐓
Thank you for deleting that ridiculous comment about ego and cultivars, what nonsense. Cheers weedy for what you do and inspire us all to create a better world for humanity ❤
Thanks for having this fantastic and important series… love it! 😍☺️🙏🏻 I‘m also very into medicinal herbs here in Europe in Germany, Austria, Italy and my garden here in Slavonia/Croatia. Yaro grows wild everywhere here and it’s with stinging nettles, blackberries and mint the hardest to set borders to the veggie garden… 🤣🙈 also lemon balm, thyme and wild carots & parsnips grow everywhere… I had to look up some plants names because I didn’t know the english name. Perhaps it’s a good idea to add the latin names for your worlds audience, because the translation is often not distinct… 🤔 So here are some interesting additions from my/ the european persperctive: fever few, the german name is „Mutterkraut“, which means directly translated „mothers herb“. The trivial name „motherwort“ comes from its use for pregnancy complaints - it triggers menstruation and promotes the detachment of the placenta, making it an abortifacient. Perhaps this was the plant, Elle‘s client was searching for in the beginning… Mugwort or wormwood belongs to the „Artemisia family“, that knows over 200 varieties… the very common and well known „Artemisia vulgaris“, what pushes the fat digestion through its bitterness and is used as a spice for fatty dishes like goose here in Europe. It‘s also very common here to use it to fumigate the house on certain days to rid it of evil spirits and bad energies. The „Artemisia absinthium“, of which the very famous „Absinth“ was made, a bitter digestive, the famous „Absinthe“, in whose intoxication it is said that the painter Van Gogh cut off his ear. My absolute favourite and most important medicinal herb of the last four years is „Artemisia annua“: It was THE herb against covid. If you ever wondered why some african counties like Tansania, quit the WHO Membership and said they have their own medicine against Covid: this was it! You only have to drink that bitter tea or use it as a plant powder or DMSO extract/ tincture and you are safe. It works not only preventive against any type of virus, bacteria, many parasites (e.g. those who cause Malaria), it also heals them! We experienced that serveral times during the plandemic, but also due to so called long covid… Since 2.000 years this plant is known as the Anti Malaria Plant in TCM. 2015 this plant got the Medicine Nobel Price… welll, actually the Chinese Doctor Tou Youyou got the Nobel price for isolating ONE active ingradient „Artemisinine“. Newest studies show that it’s also,a strong medicine against certain types of cancer. One „Artemisinine injection“ in alternative complementic cancer medicine costs 270 €. A paket of seeds between 4 € and 140 €. … a plant 5 €. With one plant - in Europe it gets over 2 m high and very bushy - you have enough medicine for your whole family and your neighbourhood … for one year! In 2020, the trade in Artemisia annua as a medicinal tea and food supplement was banned on the basis of the Novel Food Regulation. Reason: Resistance had already developed... The fact is: resistance to the isolated active ingredient ‘artemisinin’ had developed. The entire plant with its more than 250 active ingredients is still effective against malaria, Covid, cancer, etc So, if THIS is the kind of mugwort/ wormwood you planted in the chicken yard: it’s too precious to have it only for the chicks! You should defenately have one for your family… even if it’s bitter! The bitterness is it’s power! And the smell is absolutely fantastic!
Yes, thankyou, you are right, we will be sure to use the scientific names in future episodes to avoid any confusion. The wormwood we planted was the Artemisia absinthium, not the annua. I have recently been learning of the medicinal benefits that you have described above of the annua and as such I have propagated some for its antiviral and anti cancer properties. There has been a lot of research into this plant recently and it is a true gift from nature to help with a lot of ailments currently plaguing us. Thankyou for your well researched, informative comment. Elle xx
I have started a herb garden in England at the Glade trust nature reserve. I really want to extend the collection . Thank you to Elle and weedy garden for your valuable information.

Thankyou! Glad you enjoyed it! if you have a bit of a scroll through Weedy's past few video's he did one not long ago on making herbal tinctures and herbal vinegars. I hope that helps 💓 Elle xx
Wow I was thinking… I’m about to rewatch this whole video and take notes, but at the end you mentioned the pdf and now I feel so blessed, thank you for being so awesome Mr weedy garden. Hope we get to meet one day
Weedy always knows how to transport you to an extraordinary place full of connection, emotion and life. It's like a message in a bottle from Mother Nature Weedy helped her to create, sent out for the world to see. ❤ Thank you Weedy
Thanks a lot for sharing. Lovely Elle and Weedy. We use and grow at home, in Pamplona, Spain, almost the same wonderfull plants as you show. Love to use plants in teas, tinctures, medicinal oils. ❤
Thanks for such a beautiful and inspirational video. Masterfully put together, as usual, and such wonderful information. Elle’s story made me cry, to come from such a horrible situation to such a magical transformation 💚🪴🍀
What a lovely start to a Saturday morning. I think I need to plant more herbs under our fruit trees. You two make a good team & looking forward to seeing Elle in a video monthly. 💜
Thankyou for the kind words. Yes, herbs and fruit trees go together so well. It is wonderful for the pollinators, they can be great ground covers, look pretty and are so useful for us and our health! It is a win, win, win 😃💗🐞 Elle xxx
They are pretty aren't they! You'll have all of the pollinators loving your garden and it sounds like you are setting your garden up for success! 🐞🐝🪲 Elle xxx
0:04 Thank you so much for this. I only have a tiny garden and plants in pots. And well, there is always room for culinary and medicinal herbs. Thanks to both of you.
You are welcome! A tiny garden in pots can be perfect for you and your needs. We do what we can with what we have. Sending love to you and your garden ❣🍀 Elle xx
Good video. Just wanted to share that the Echinacea root is only slightly stronger than the flower. The center of the flower is where the medicine is and you can harvest the flowers sooner. I wouldn’t bother digging the roots up since it will kill the plant. You can use Echinacea to treat sepsis, brown recluse spider bites and even rattlesnake bites. It contains an inhibitor that keeps the toxin from dissolving your tissue thus preserving the skin. You can even use it on animals, especially dogs. Use it with stimulating herbs like cayenne, peppermint and ginger to get the best benefits. Black eyed susan and yellow cone flower can be used in the same way as well.
Wow what a wonderful collaboration I was totally absorbed with what Elle was teaching and you planting. I have not had much luck germinating some of these herbs but will give it another go. Knowing how to use the herbs is priceless knowledge. Thank you so much😊
Loved the video and would find a future video on how to make great medicinal tinctures and salves most helpful. A great partnership with very useful info and fun presentation. Brings a smile to my dial every time I watch a video! Thanks Weedy and Elle
You are so very welcome! If you have a bit of a search through his recent videos you will find Weedy did a video on creating different herbal tinctures and vinegars, not too long ago. We will do a video on making salves in the not-too-distant future, thanks for your suggestion! 🪴📽💛 Elle xx
Thank you so much for the lovely video. I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it. There are different varieties of thyme and sage. Do they have different medicinal properties and benefits?
@@ivyclark70 There are many varieties of most of these plants. In the future videos we will be sure to put the correct botanical names in to avoid confusion. Yes, different species have different properties. They are generally similar but they do differ. If you are looking for a specific plant to help with a particular ailment it would be best to go by the scientific name of the plant and its known medicinal properties. These are generally easy enough to search by looking up the scientific name and finding a reputable journal article on studies done, and also empirical evidence. I hope that helps, and I am glad you enjoyed the video 💓 Elle xx
Weedy,thank you for introducing us to Elle! (Hello Elle! 👋) This series has my total attention, I am in the process of learning more about medical plants and growing them for myself too. Elle,you were meant for this... thank you for taking time to do this with Weedy! I am looking forward to seeing you on the next stream! 😊 🪴 ❤
Great video!! Was searching for a lot of herbs video's before, but not much to find. I am glad you are gonna post more. Have a lot of herbs here already in the Netherlands☺️✌🏼 have a good summer👌🏼
Thank you for sharing your story Elle ...gardening for me also started as a way to release stress and help with my mental health... I'm a customer of yours from the past and absolutely recommend your mullein tea ... It's lovely to put a face and voice to your business... Thanks for sharing your knowledge and thank you to weedy for making this all happen... Happy growing guys 💞
@@Australian_Medicinal_Herbs keep shining Elle 🙏such warmth received in the reflection of your being and generosity in openness. We walk beside you 💗🙏🌏
Hi Weedy, I grew/grow Lemon Balm zone 3. The plant doesn't come back, but I have a gazillion baby lemon balms this year. Watch out for the self seeders. Love your information....thank you 🇨🇦
Hello from the high desert of North West USA! A BIG THANK YOU!! To both of you as I am just starting to collect and apply this knowledge! Hopefully I'll be expanding on last years accomplishment of growing enough to make a few salads and BLT"S and exactly one cup of tea! 🤣
Been waiting for this, great content as always. I’ll be putting this info to good use. Thanks for sharing your journey Elle, as a cptsd survivor I really connected with your story. Thank you.
You are more than welcome, sending love to you. Soon Weedy and I are doing a video on plants that are useful for specific ailments such as PTSD, so I hope you find that of use too.💙 Elle xx
Thank you for sharing your story. I have discovered another of nature's gifts mushrooms that are medicine. I am still learning herbs as well. And look forward to more from both of you.
I love mushrooms! Nature's gifts are a great way to describe them. My "go to" is Lions Mane. For me, I find it helps with energy, motivation, memory and cognition. What are your favourite mushrooms? Elle xx
Oh My Giddy Aunt!! I love this new contribution so much Weedy, thank you, . . . .I didnt think I could love your videos any more than I already do, yet here you are with more goodness and high value #Grateful 🤩🙏💞🌳🌻
Thank you for sharing your story! Fellow former first responder here. I am so glad you found the healing power of nature. I'm on my own recovery path and have been using a permaculture farm as a nature-based therapeutic space. We're even working on a burnout/compassion fatigue/PTSD retreat! Sending love from the US (Maryland).
Oh I hope you will forgive the intrusion but my 20 yr old daughter has begun her own first responder journey, she tried on the office setting and then the hospital but returned to the EMT path. Her heart has found it's calling. If I may ask, from the perspective of your hard earned wisdom is there any advice you would give her or myself for that matter? How best to support her? May God bless all those who run towards trouble rather than from it for you are a special kind of human. ❤🙏
You are more than welcome, and thankyou for your service. I am glad to hear that you have found a beautiful healing space as well. It is important to get out of your head and into nature, to help you to regulate, and your permaculture farm sounds ideal. I would love to hear more about the retreat that you are creating. What a wonderful community space to help support healing! 👏💞
@@GenXHeart You sound like a very loving and caring mother. Just support her as best that you can. Be there when she needs to talk, love and support her. Oh, and Catnip, Lemon Balm or Passiflora incarnarta for nervine regulation or getting to sleep after night shift 🤗 Elle xx
@@GenXHeart No intrusion at all! Things can vary a bit from country-to-country but the EMT path has more internal and external supports than law enforcement in the US. I was the mental health component of a crisis response team (police, paramedic, mental health professional), so my answer will be influenced by my background. Many fire/rescue departments have built in mental health supports as well as spiritual supports through chaplaincy. My biggest piece of advice can be summed up in a fun word PROFYLACTIC aka preventative not reactive. Preventative mental and physical health treatment is the key to longevity. Use all of your time off - that's why they give it to you... especially after difficult calls. It's OK to say "I'm not OK." Reach out for support and reach out often. Stay connected to loved ones and hobbies. Getting support from within the first responder community is great (we have shared experiences and can relate) but sometimes it can be a burnout/trauma feedback loop. Spend time with people who aren't lights ands sirens all the time. ANDDD... get outside. Sit in the grass. Smell the flowers. Look at the pretty birds. 15 minutes in nature has multiple health benefits. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9665958/
@@GenXHeart I wrote a big long reply and it disappeared! 😥Maybe i'll try again after I look at my computer... I might be having tech issues! (Edit: It might have been removed because I put a link to a journal article? I'm not very YT savvy.)
Nice collab. Yes thyme is very easy to propagate, l have some that grew after being chopped and dropped.. so now when l prune, l try to stick some under the mulch to give it a beter chance of rooting.. that way l expand my covercrop for free.. What l’ve also noticed is that if you don’t prune it back in t(hy)ime it kinda dies on the old spots and creeps outward poorly..
Awesome story Elle. Thank you for sharing! I am so sorry you went through such a difficult time, but you blossomed on the other side. Plus you are helping people. How lovely. Well done you, from U.K.
Whenever I watch you I feel peaceful and calm 🌱 I loved your plant talking back to you. This is what I imagine when I talk to my plants. I just know they can feel our love and I ain’t crazy. I’m considering studying and it’d be my dream to live the way you do. My father was a clever man and to me he could do anything. I loved being outside with him being caretakers of our few acres. It was the best. Thanks Weedy and thanks for having Elle on. I enjoyed it.
That was my favourite part too! They have done many studies now on the benefits of talking to our plants. If we treat things with love and kindness they thrive and respond in turn. What a lovely experience being a land steward with your father, caring for your property. I believe that you can do anything you set your mind to. I look forward to seeing your own version of a weedy garden one day.💕🪴 Elle xx
Thank you Elle, and Weedy, it's the tending of the earth that mend our spirit, and of course the medicinal and nutritive qualities of our little friends, if we nurture them, they nurture us!!

Thanks a lot for sharing. Lovely Elle and Weedy. We use and grow at home, in Pamplona, Spain, almost the same wonderfull plants as you show. Love to use plants in teas, tinctures, medicinal oils. ❤
Thanks for such a beautiful and inspirational video. Masterfully put together, as usual, and such wonderful information. Elle’s story made me cry, to come from such a horrible situation to such a magical transformation 💚🪴🍀
2:05 hits me every time! 🥹
What's really impressive is the range of growth of many of those. Most of them I grow in my zone 4 food forest in chilly Canada.
Hey man 🫵🏻 nice to see you here 👍
Can't wait for the follow up video in a couple of months when all these have started to flower :)
Actual tears hearing your story Elle. ❤
What a lovely start to a Saturday morning. I think I need to plant more herbs under our fruit trees. You two make a good team & looking forward to seeing Elle in a video monthly. 💜
Thankyou for the kind words. Yes, herbs and fruit trees go together so well. It is wonderful for the pollinators, they can be great ground covers, look pretty and are so useful for us and our health! It is a win, win, win 😃💗🐞

Got me, love borage, grow and planted 9 of them in my this year First real garden season, just because of the Look...
They are pretty aren't they! You'll have all of the pollinators loving your garden and it sounds like you are setting your garden up for success! 🐞🐝🪲

I honestly didn’t want this video to finish! Beautiful colaboration.
I’m in UK so can’t get the seeds from you. Sad
Couldn’t love this anymore (until I say the video length 33.33 💚)
Angel numbers 💗
@@Australian_Medicinal_Herbs exactly 💚
What a lovely collaboration 🌱💚🌀 thanks guys 🤗
0:04 Thank you so much for this.
I only have a tiny garden and plants in pots. And well, there is always room for culinary and medicinal herbs.
Thanks to both of you.
You are welcome! A tiny garden in pots can be perfect for you and your needs. We do what we can with what we have. Sending love to you and your garden ❣🍀

Hi guys, very nice to see Elle on the show, you did great. Really enjoyed watching, thanks for the knowledge sharing.
Also, forgot to mention, would have liked to see more mature versions of the plants also :)
Glad you enjoyed it
Good video. Just wanted to share that the Echinacea root is only slightly stronger than the flower. The center of the flower is where the medicine is and you can harvest the flowers sooner. I wouldn’t bother digging the roots up since it will kill the plant. You can use Echinacea to treat sepsis, brown recluse spider bites and even rattlesnake bites. It contains an inhibitor that keeps the toxin from dissolving your tissue thus preserving the skin. You can even use it on animals, especially dogs. Use it with stimulating herbs like cayenne, peppermint and ginger to get the best benefits. Black eyed susan and yellow cone flower can be used in the same way as well.
Wow what a wonderful collaboration I was totally absorbed with what Elle was teaching and you planting. I have not had much luck germinating some of these herbs but will give it another go. Knowing how to use the herbs is priceless knowledge. Thank you so much😊
Love the content can’t wait for the next one,thanks Elle and weedy ❤
Loved the video and would find a future video on how to make great medicinal tinctures and salves most helpful. A great partnership with very useful info and fun presentation. Brings a smile to my dial every time I watch a video! Thanks Weedy and Elle
You are so very welcome! If you have a bit of a search through his recent videos you will find Weedy did a video on creating different herbal tinctures and vinegars, not too long ago. We will do a video on making salves in the not-too-distant future, thanks for your suggestion! 🪴📽💛

yay! more elle ... i can't wait. very happy :D
Ha ha, thanks that is very kind 🤗 ❣

Iam always dreaming about my weedy garden❤
Wonderful video with loads of helpful information. Thank You!!
Thank you Weedy and Ell 👍
Indeed, my friend...😊
This is lovely and so inspiring, I’m heading out to harvest some of these great herbs!
What a beautiful partnership! Love the concept and the rich content blows my mind.
Thank you so much for the lovely video. I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it. There are different varieties of thyme and sage. Do they have different medicinal properties and benefits?
@@ivyclark70 There are many varieties of most of these plants. In the future videos we will be sure to put the correct botanical names in to avoid confusion. Yes, different species have different properties. They are generally similar but they do differ. If you are looking for a specific plant to help with a particular ailment it would be best to go by the scientific name of the plant and its known medicinal properties. These are generally easy enough to search by looking up the scientific name and finding a reputable journal article on studies done, and also empirical evidence. I hope that helps, and I am glad you enjoyed the video 💓

Beautiful content, so thoughtful and helpful. Thanks Weedy and Elle!
Thankyou @angelahutt 😄💜
Weedy,thank you for introducing us to Elle! (Hello Elle! 👋) This series has my total attention, I am in the process of learning more about medical plants and growing them for myself too.
Elle,you were meant for this... thank you for taking time to do this with Weedy! I am looking forward to seeing you on the next stream! 😊 🪴 ❤
So nice to hear this 🙏🏻👍🤗
Fantastic video Weedy! Elle made me cry as I can relate to her story in so many ways!❤❤❤
💙 much love to you,
Elle xx
Great video!! Was searching for a lot of herbs video's before, but not much to find. I am glad you are gonna post more. Have a lot of herbs here already in the Netherlands☺️✌🏼 have a good summer👌🏼
Thank you for sharing your story Elle ...gardening for me also started as a way to release stress and help with my mental health... I'm a customer of yours from the past and absolutely recommend your mullein tea ... It's lovely to put a face and voice to your business...
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and thank you to weedy for making this all happen...
Happy growing guys 💞
Such courage and 🦋 inside 💗deep gratitude love for sharing the joy and connection of our beautiful MaMa 🌏🙏🐝

Love the medicinal herb interlude idea Weedy! 🌱🐛🍄❤️
I have just started to get into medical gardening
Hi Weedy, I grew/grow Lemon Balm zone 3. The plant doesn't come back, but I have a gazillion baby lemon balms this year. Watch out for the self seeders. Love your information....thank you 🇨🇦
Hello from the high desert of North West USA! A BIG THANK YOU!! To both of you as I am just starting to collect and apply this knowledge! Hopefully I'll be expanding on last years accomplishment of growing enough to make a few salads and BLT"S and exactly one cup of tea! 🤣
Hello North West USA! Haha, one cup of tea is better than none! And you can't beat a home grown BLT 😃
Elle xx
Very informative! Thank you for sharing! 😊
Thoroughly enjoyed this video and look forward to watching more.
DONT DREAM....DO!!! luv ya wrk weedy bunch!!!
Been waiting for this, great content as always. I’ll be putting this info to good use. Thanks for sharing your journey Elle, as a cptsd survivor I really connected with your story. Thank you.
You are more than welcome, sending love to you. Soon Weedy and I are doing a video on plants that are useful for specific ailments such as PTSD, so I hope you find that of use too.💙
Elle xx
@@Australian_Medicinal_Herbs awesome, m finding herbal the only way forward, keen to see what else is available. 💚
So inspiring. Thank you Weddy!!!❤
Yet another wonderful video and what an incredible human Elle is.
♥ you are too kind.
Elle xx
Omg, I just came from work and saw this video! What a perfect way to end the day :)
Thank you for sharing your story. I have discovered another of nature's gifts mushrooms that are medicine. I am still learning herbs as well. And look forward to more from both of you.
I love mushrooms! Nature's gifts are a great way to describe them. My "go to" is Lions Mane. For me, I find it helps with energy, motivation, memory and cognition. What are your favourite mushrooms?
Elle xx
Oh My Giddy Aunt!! I love this new contribution so much Weedy, thank you, . . . .I didnt think I could love your videos any more than I already do, yet here you are with more goodness and high value #Grateful 🤩🙏💞🌳🌻
Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing your story! Fellow former first responder here. I am so glad you found the healing power of nature. I'm on my own recovery path and have been using a permaculture farm as a nature-based therapeutic space. We're even working on a burnout/compassion fatigue/PTSD retreat! Sending love from the US (Maryland).
Oh I hope you will forgive the intrusion but my 20 yr old daughter has begun her own first responder journey, she tried on the office setting and then the hospital but returned to the EMT path. Her heart has found it's calling. If I may ask, from the perspective of your hard earned wisdom is there any advice you would give her or myself for that matter? How best to support her? May God bless all those who run towards trouble rather than from it for you are a special kind of human. ❤🙏
You are more than welcome, and thankyou for your service. I am glad to hear that you have found a beautiful healing space as well. It is important to get out of your head and into nature, to help you to regulate, and your permaculture farm sounds ideal. I would love to hear more about the retreat that you are creating. What a wonderful community space to help support healing! 👏💞
@@GenXHeart You sound like a very loving and caring mother. Just support her as best that you can. Be there when she needs to talk, love and support her. Oh, and Catnip, Lemon Balm or Passiflora incarnarta for nervine regulation or getting to sleep after night shift 🤗
Elle xx
@@GenXHeart No intrusion at all! Things can vary a bit from country-to-country but the EMT path has more internal and external supports than law enforcement in the US. I was the mental health component of a crisis response team (police, paramedic, mental health professional), so my answer will be influenced by my background. Many fire/rescue departments have built in mental health supports as well as spiritual supports through chaplaincy. My biggest piece of advice can be summed up in a fun word PROFYLACTIC aka preventative not reactive. Preventative mental and physical health treatment is the key to longevity. Use all of your time off - that's why they give it to you... especially after difficult calls. It's OK to say "I'm not OK." Reach out for support and reach out often. Stay connected to loved ones and hobbies. Getting support from within the first responder community is great (we have shared experiences and can relate) but sometimes it can be a burnout/trauma feedback loop. Spend time with people who aren't lights ands sirens all the time. ANDDD... get outside. Sit in the grass. Smell the flowers. Look at the pretty birds. 15 minutes in nature has multiple health benefits. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9665958/
@@GenXHeart I wrote a big long reply and it disappeared! 😥Maybe i'll try again after I look at my computer... I might be having tech issues! (Edit: It might have been removed because I put a link to a journal article? I'm not very YT savvy.)
Thanks for the great information. I wish both of you the best
Amazing video thanks
Lovely. Thanks for bringing your friend on to remind us gardeners not to forget the medicinals.
Nice collab. Yes thyme is very easy to propagate, l have some that grew after being chopped and dropped.. so now when l prune, l try to stick some under the mulch to give it a beter chance of rooting.. that way l expand my covercrop for free.. What l’ve also noticed is that if you don’t prune it back in t(hy)ime it kinda dies on the old spots and creeps outward poorly..
A brilliant video, thank you!!!
This just gets better and better 😩❤️ what a beautiful collaboration of skills and characteristics! 🌍❤️
Love your vids and thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Incredible video... Thank you for sharing. I love hearing the backstory of how people come to gardening ❤
Omg! I can totally relate to her story! Lots of love!
Sending you lots of love back 💗

Awesome story Elle. Thank you for sharing! I am so sorry you went through such a difficult time, but you blossomed on the other side. Plus you are helping people. How lovely. Well done you, from U.K.
Thankyou for the kind words 💗
Elle xx
Whenever I watch you I feel peaceful and calm 🌱 I loved your plant talking back to you. This is what I imagine when I talk to my plants. I just know they can feel our love and I ain’t crazy.
I’m considering studying and it’d be my dream to live the way you do. My father was a clever man and to me he could do anything. I loved being outside with him being caretakers of our few acres. It was the best.
Thanks Weedy and thanks for having Elle on.
I enjoyed it.
That was my favourite part too! They have done many studies now on the benefits of talking to our plants. If we treat things with love and kindness they thrive and respond in turn.
What a lovely experience being a land steward with your father, caring for your property. I believe that you can do anything you set your mind to. I look forward to seeing your own version of a weedy garden one day.💕🪴

Cooool intro, love it!! Earthly love to anyone who reads this!!
