Welcome to these calm gardens in the heart of Coquitlam, BC
This is an introduction to container gardening medicinal herbs.
“Let thy kitchen be thy apothecary; let thy foods be thy medicine.” - Hippocrates
The purpose of this presentation is to share information, with like-minded individuals who are interested in Herbalism.
None of this information given today is intended to be used in place of sound allopathic medical advice. Everybody who
visits my garden must take personal responsibility for their own research, and wellbeing. I am simply sharing what
has worked for me.

What is a Herbalist?
An herbalist is someone who specializes in handling herbs for medicinal purposes. In some cases, an herbalist focuses on growing herbs, while others may harvest or collect herbs in the wild, and some offer herbal prescriptions and advice. In many cases, an herbalist performs all three tasks, managing his or her own stock of herbs to ensure that they are of high quality.

My path towards the Heart of Gaia
“We hear and we forget. We see and we remember. We touch and we understand.”
Herbalism is the world of possibilities: to overcome chronic health situations, health maintenance, safe
bath & beauty products, clean home environment, and a nutritious way to eat. I have been using herbs for
over 30 years and I have peace of mind, as I know what is in the product and how it will affect my health. By
learning more about herbs, going deeper into the botany, chemistry, wild crafting, and increasing my
knowledge and experience of other certified organic herbs that I have not grown myself, I hope to be able
to help myself & others even more.

SW Coast of British Columbia
The wild beauty of the southwest corner of BC has consistently captured my heart. I love the
plant life around me. I talk and sing to all plants. When I collect herbs, I chant Om to the
Mother plant. Gaia is my earth Mother who takes care of every one of my physical needs including my medicine. Source looks after my spiritual and energetic needs. The direction I’m heading in will allow me to write, teach,
and help others via consultations.

Louise SilverMy most memorable herbal event to date is the
discovery of Calendula in 2002. My Spiritual Mentor of 26 years passed away in September 2001. As we were
leaving her property for the last time, my husband reached down and took a couple of handfuls of seeds
from one of her plants and stuck them in his pocket. We didn’t know what it was, we only wanted something of
hers to live on with us. We planted these seeds in early spring. When the
flowers bloomed, our neighbour identified them as Calendula. I did research on this beautiful plant and
began to make Calendula Balm in 2002. I made ten jars and those same first customers keep coming back for
more.

Materia Medica
• These are the plants with which I work and have a personal relationship. There is nothing like the feeling of going out into the garden, harvesting the herbs then creating the remedy right there and then. You can’t get much fresher than that.
