More newsletters:
"Looking at your website makes me all happy" a colleague told me lately. I love to make people happy. The plants make me happy and is it not heart-warming to be able to pass that on? You can do so to with our greetingcards, notebooks and other products from the online shop.
You also can browse through the quarterly newsletters, which I have been making since the start of this website in 2008. Just click on them (left)
greetings, Adriana

Newsletter Summer Solstice 2010
This page unfolds as the cold Spring season in April in Scotland hesitantly moved towards the abundance of Light at Summer Solstice of 2010 at mid June . Nature gave an abundant start of the summer !
Monthly Favourite Flower image
April's blossoming favourite:
Shining in the morning sunrise, those first white blossoms on the hedge of Cullerne Gardens. Surrounded by tulips, daffodils, raspberry blossoms, blue rosemary and the first yellow gorse and forsythia.
May blossom favourite:
Spring and Summer are finally here - all at once in May. Everything blossoms, from daffodils, roses, fruit tree blossoms to the shrubs like lilac and magnolia. The gardens in The Park and Findhorn dunes full of gold yellow gorse embrace us in their fabulous colours and sweet fragrance, here in the north of Scotland.
June's flower favourite:
The seed head of a dandelion. (Taraxacum officinale). You might not want their seeds to spread in your garden, but they look so beautiful; a world by themselves. As a child I always liked to pick them and blow the seeds around.
Multi media show
"The Tideline"

Findhorn Bakery bread
Short listed for the Scotland Food & Drink Award 2010. For Findhorn Bakery I made a photo-series of their fabulous hand produced organic breads. What to think of the "Earthshare Harvest wheat Bread", the "Black Isle Porter Spelt bread" (my favourite!); the "Newbold Apple & Cinnamon Bread" or "Jim's Wilds Mushroom & Garlic Foccacia"
