Thoughts to Ponder . . . from Bill Varney, URBANherbal January 2005

Your source for herbal advice about plants, recipes using herbs, personal care products and much much more . . .

Dear Farm Family & Friends, Happy New Year! As Edwin  Way Teale wrote,  in The Wilderness World of John Muir , No synonym for God is so perfect as Beauty!  Whether as seen carving the lines of the mountains with the glaciers, or gathering matter into stars, or planning the movements of the water, or gardening-still all is Beauty! We find beauty everyday in our gardens, greenhouse, and the products we make and in the food we make and serve! We hope you will join us  this year for our Annual Herb Fest, April 15th, 16th and 17th, or anytime for a beautiful moment in our gardens or spa,  restaurant or bed & breakfast. To help nurture your personal beauty our personal care products continue to bless many peoples lives. Remembering, Gertrude Jekyll (1843-1932)  When I pick or crush in my hand a twig of Bay, or brush against a bush of Rosemary, or tread upon a tuft of Thyme.....I feel that here is all that is best and purest and most refined, and nearest to poetry in the range of faculty of the sense of smell. Enjoy our sense of smell! Bill Varney & all the Herb Farm Family
