Running this programme  was a real pleasure for us, as our students were not novices with nature or as well as massage . Mums  received very good back massage from their offspring as an unexpected gift for Mother’s Day. Even though the weather was not perfect we all enjoyed our classes  despite frequent showers

In the winter season, there is not a lot of visitors at Ngataringa Garden, so the Herb Fairies decided to make a party on one of broccoli plants. They have been so happy gossiping and enjoying the sun that they did not notice the camera!  Maybe they were discussing which of them would start the spring season by greeting children again in October?

Every last Sunday of the Month, Herb Fairies Academy at Ngatarnga Organic Garden in Devonport welcomes children and families interested to know more about herbs. We already had meetings with Melissa – Lemon balm, Viola – and Plantain Fairies. On the last Sunday of April, children were welcomed by Stinging Nettle Fairy. Looking at spikes through a magnifying glass, listening to health properties of the plant, colouring the picture and drinking of tasty nettle infusion made students friends to the Nettle Fairy.
Children enjoyed our organic bananas and took home chokos they had harvested from the NOG Garden fence .
It was a very nice day.

Every year more and more herbalists attend the Women’s Herbal Conference in Koryciny in Poland. I presented a speech about the Herb Fairies Academy that I run in New Zealand. This year there were 136 of us. The Botanical Garden in Koryciny http://ziolowyzakatek.pl/ is a special place. It has an area of 16 hectares. There are thousands of herbs grouped according to their growing conditions included some rare and almost extinct examples. There is also a herbal workshop the produces many types of herbal products.  http://darynatury.pl/   Koryciny is also a very popular tourist place with farm animals, some living free, and some fenced in. It is a very popular for families with children to spend their summer holidays.
