I’d like to be, Under the sea…
I attended a medicinal garden workshop at La Plaza Cultural. We had a wonderful herbal tour in the garden, led by Noreen Kelly. She is truly specialist. I was so surprised to learn that herbs have a variety of effects and stories. An herb called “snake root” especially impressed me. Simply, it has poison. Even so, it could cure sick which would be caused by its poison. It’s not a superstition. This is only thing what I can tell about homeopathy for now. We also enjoyed herbal tea time in the sun. One of participants found a small bottle of “Happy Tincture” on the table. Noreen said, it’s okay to give it a try. Its label said it was made from albizia, melissa, eschalzia and lavender on its label. Well, I could tell only lavender. Yes, it is hard for me to identify what was which species for now. Yet, the tincture worked. okok. I got a happy feeling. I want to bring Issei to this garden. Honestly, the community garden knocked my socks off. Not only caused by tincture. I didn’t expect it would be this great. You can see at here and there, each one doing what they like. It has something daring spirits, wild and beautiful. It was… great. I have no idea how I can say but I feel I should start something..!
After that, we visited MoRUS nearby La Plaza Cultural. It is an acronym for Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space. Then, I knew that. The gardens have a stories. The residents kept fighting to save the community gardens so long time, so many time. I was shocked, when I saw the footage which bulldozer crashing into the garden. I have no idea how I can say but I feel I should start something..!
