On the 7th of July we hosted our 8th lavender education session at Hillwood Primary in Lavender Hill. Around 50 children learnt all about the healing benefits of lavender and how they can use it in their own homes for medicinal purposes, relaxation and to make products. After getting all the theory out of the way, the kids were taught how to make lavender cuttings (the baby from which a lavender plant will grow). The next half hour was spent getting their hands dirty as they

As we swiftly move towards the end of yet another year, it is time to pause and look back over 2014 - its highs, lows, achievements and everything that was learnt.

Male/female dualisms describe what typically makes up male qualities and female qualities which are complete opposites.
