Wild Flower Harvest

[@markhowell4159]

Such amazing and beautiful landscape. This was an absolute joy to watch. Thank you so much for sharing. I enjoy all your wonderful and informative videos. 💜💚

[@rhondabagby6312]

Oh thank you for the herb walk.I mess getting out in my yard.Have loved herhs,I have no knowledge of wild herbs.But do love them.stay well.Lady Of the Trees.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

You're welcome!

[@naturenirvana1]

That was pleasant and the horse playing "trot race" with the dogs was a treat to watch. :)

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

I love the way the local horses always interact with the dogs.

[@Cronezonetarot]

I have your Weed Handbook Volume 1 and 2 - excellent little books both. I love that you include so much lore about the plants as well as very useful guides to their practical use. However, nothing's quite the same as sharing the experience of an actual walk with you around your wild coastal home. Thank you Terri. XX

[@sallylunamoth5542]

Lyn Hill I must get those 2 Books Too 💚

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

You are welcome Lyn, it was an especially beautiful day.

[@christinecaudill6050]

Thank you beautiful soul ♥️ thank you for such wonderful information & delightful scenery..

[@leslieW5177]

Teri, thank you for all of the wonderful fascinating information. It is amazing that all of those beautiful flowers and herbs are thriving despite the rugged wild terrain. Thank you for sharing your beautiful Irish west coast.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Plants are incredible arn't they. So resilient!

[@tassiegirl1991]

Another lovely afternoon here in Aus trip down your little road to the coast and learn a bit about the herb plants growing along the way. Delightful thank you

[@makeastatement1]

I think this is my favorite video of yours so far! How amazing all these herbs just everywhere and no one planted?! Very beautiful countryside particularly at the end at the shore; relaxing and restorative just to take this walk. Thank you please make more of these as it really is helpful in learning to identify how plants are growing in the wild.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Thank you - I will be doing a summer herb walk very soon.

[@rozannaherring1578]

This is my absolute favourite of all your videos Terri. I was right there with you in my beloved Connemara and it reminded me of my heavenly childhood in the West surrounded by all the animals. How charming to watch the foal play with your dogs, to see the contented cows and admire the Twelve Pins in the distance. My cottage in England has hosts of montbretia and fuschia outside the door to remind me of Ireland. Thank you for a most delightful and fascinating walk.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

So glad to hear you have the iconic Montbretia and Fuchsia, they will certainly help you to feel at home and the colours together are just amazing. x

[@debbieconnelley342]

I ordered some hardy fuschia from Ireland. I live in KY, which is zone 6. I’m not quite sure it will survive outside here or not during the winter months. I never knew it existed until watching these videos. I love it and hope it will grow for me here in this climate. Any tips? 😊👩‍🌾

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

@@debbieconnelley342 I'm not sure Debbie - it is a South American plant that came to Ireland on the gulf stream. It did survive the severe winters we had in 2010 and 2011. We just stick it in the ground and it takes off so best of luck it does the same there.

[@debbieconnelley342]

Danu's Irish Herb Garden thank you for the info...I’m crossing my fingers! 😊

[@elizabethfraser2996]

Summer of 2019 there was a seeming surfeit of Mullen in southern Ontario Canada. It is good for respiratory problems. Well we all know what happened the winter of 2019-2020. Love your program !

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Plants know things that we don't!!😄🌿

It was wonderful to see the countryside. I enjoyed everything about this, beautiful and interesting.

[@ZenZone28]

Thank you Terri, a delight to watch and so informative x

[@elijotwaldgeist5666]

Yarrow is a beautiful herb, which helps me with my hay fever. I really love it. I was also really happy to see you mention wild thyme, which is known as quendel in germany. I have it in my garden and the small pink blossoms warm my heart every time I see them.

[@marilynroberts6644]

Another gorgeous walk along. Being a city dweller, desert city, I especially love seeing green life and water. The animal visits are an added bonus ! I refer back to your little books quite often for herbal insight. I believe the Hawthorn plant saved me from absolutely giving up just a few years ago when my mother died. She does mend a broken heart Terri 💜🕯💜

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Sorry to hear you lost your mother but so glad to know that Hawthorn helped. One of my favourite special friends!

[@jaynestoddart233]

New to you channel, very informative, beautiful scenery and location, and especially your hair, you are a breath of fresh hair 😀

I enjoy walking like that as well. I enjoyed this walk with you and the dogs. Thank you for posting.💚

Thank you Sandra, for watching. Glad you liked it.💚

[@jeantruesdale2706]

Such beautiful scenery !

[@claremaidofthewave251]

Oh my goodness what a fantastic location. No wonder you glow! Totally agree with the way different plants seem to grow more than usual each season and that there must be a reason. Thank you for the stroll to the sea. 🙏🏻x

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

It is a lovely place, rain or shine and we had perfect weather for the walk.

[@rosa-f4865]

Lovely interesting walk with you and lovely ponies too xx

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Thanks Rosa!

[@patrickboyle7067]

Fantastic Thank You. So informative and great to see on a cold, wet and dark January morning.

Oh yes, memories of warm sunny days.😃🌞🌸 although actually here in Galway it is very sunny and bright today. Hope your day picks up.

[@beverley1539]

Hello from Ontario Canada. Thankyou for the walk along I was trying to absorb but then the pony was playing with the dogs and the scenery breathtaking. Think I will watch again and just try to focus on yourself. Lol take care of yourself and your loved ones🐝

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Thanks Beverley. It is lovely to see young animals playing. I will do!

[@prab-vh8mk]

Beautiful video and ladies bedstraw was used for loss of appetite, and chest and lung ailments. It is also used to increase urine output as a diuretic for relieving water retention, especially swollen ankles 😊xxxxx

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Thank you Prab 6960 - good to know. x

[@vijaysura2874]

Very nice video. So much to eat and use but so few of us would have the confidence. Nettl

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Just get a good book that helps you to identify native plants and that is a good start and then, if you can, join a forager's group. Either way, enjoy seeing what you can see.😃

[@jmck6320]

Terrific walk and info. Blessings to you Terri

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Thank you and thank you!

[@tazziegee8479]

Hi thank you Terri. You live in such a lovely location. so full of wild flowers. To have medicinal herbs so at hand wonderful. We have lovely hawthorn trees here in the area I live in Southern Tasmania. I do have many herbs and medicinal plants in my garden/land. I enjoy growing them, I so have wonderful blackberries though sadly they are considered an invasive weed here in my rural location. Thankfully they are still here on my land. I really enjoy your videos and information blessings Tazzie

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Thank you Tazzie. Most blackberries here are on boundaries, along walls and hedgerows so can be seen as positive. Beannachtai Tazzie x

[@RoseCottageColleen]

So happy I stumbled upon your channel. The area you live in is strikingly beautiful. I love the information you are imparting. Thank you so much.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Thank you Colleen, I'm glad you found me too and that you are enjoying the information.

[@johngkeegan4037]

Greetings from an old man on an old mountain in the South Pennines of West Yorkshire. I'm playing catch-up with your videos and loving every one of them so far. I'm intrigued by the mountain range on your distant horizon. A couple of years ago I came looking for clues about my ancestors who hailed from "somewhere on the west coast of Ireland". I stayed in a cottage near Cleggan and had views of similar, if not the same, chain of mountains. I forget the name; something like the Ten Sisters (?). Anyway, must get back to some more of your wonderful, informative videos. Best wishes to you and your family. Cheers.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Hi John, thank you for watching, so glad to hear you are enjoying the videos. Yes the mountains are the same ones, Cleggan is about 10 miles or thereabouts from me. The name is the 12 Bens or some call them the 12 Pins. Apparently they are older than the Himalaya which is why they are so small now! Best Wishes to you and yours.

[@debbieconnelley342]

Really enjoyed the walk with you, and all the information you gave along the way. What a beautiful, beautiful place you live! 🌿😊

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Glad to hear it Debbie. It is a lovely place, even on a stormy day, but this day was just perfect. x

[@michaeldee8443]

Wonderfully Wonderful!

[@wendymcfarlane9068]

Wonderful Teri as always, ty. There's so much diversity in Nature isn't there. It was interesting to see the different flowers available by the sea.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Hard to believe just how much diversity!

[@sall4634]

Thank you Terri for your knowledge. Very interesting what you said about whats growing around me. In my case hawthorn and herb roberts. I will study these plants more. Thank you again.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Do Sall - those plants are very healing. x

A lovely walk Terri, how lovely to live near the sea, I was lucky enough to visit Connemara in '95. Loved it great weather. Didn't know anyone unfortunately. Took myself off on walks and bike rides all over the west.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

I was only home a year then and I think 95 was one of those memorable summers for the weather.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Thank you for watching and subscribing!

[@Moraymakeup]

Another brilliant video. I use yarrow, nettles and hawthorn for naturally dyeing fabric...haven’t had the heart to dye with lady’s bedstraw as I’d have to uproot the whole plant! All the best x

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Natural dying is coming up a lot lately. Where do you get the alum and the fixatives? Are they still sold through the local chemists? I would love to give it a try.

[@Moraymakeup]

Danu's Irish Herb Garden I actually order my alum through wildcolours.co.uk, although I also make mordant using rhubarb leaves or seaweed. Some even just use a pot made of aluminium for mordanting but I haven’t tried that. I make my iron and copper fixatives through pieces of the scrap I find and leaving them in a solution of vinegar and water over time. I do find the dyeing process water and electricity intensive, but have reduced this through reusing water where possible (same water to mordant then dye) and cold dyeing the material whenever I can. I find I get the same results if I just leave my wool in the dye for a number of days instead of hours. Hope you’re well and greetings from the East Coast of Scotland x

I'm ashamed to say I rarely use the herbs planted through my garden. The pollinators enjoy them 😍

Don't be ashamed, at least the pollinators get something from your land - far better than lawn.

Ive just discovered your channel and Bealtine Cottage four days ago and I'm in my element, thanks. Are you a druid?

Welcome! I'm not a druid but I follow a similar earth based spirituality. x

🙏🏼❤️

[@jaicrawford9882]

It's amazing how Mother Earth really has provided for us (goes to show we should be eating more plants than meat and for the record I do eat chicken and fish as long as they have been treated WELL) other meats tend to taste abit funny to me. I am not a vegetarian or vegan I just generally prefer plants as I've found my body does better on plants

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

She provides everything! xx

[@tracyrupp4882]

It's so sad that, in the US, purple loosestrife is considered an invasive pest. When I worked in horticulture years ago we were always taught to pull it. Now, everyone wants to pull wild garlic for the same reason, and people spend a fortune on poisonous chemicals to get rid of the lovely and useful dandelion.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

How crazy!😟

[@jeanneamato8278]

Monbretia cans be used for dysentery.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Good to know - and Blackberry leaves too. Plenty of both here😂

Was that chamomile sea may weed as we have lots of that growing here on coast 😊❤️xxx

Yes - that is it. Similar properties to Chamomile but weaker.

[@michaelbaumeister2416]

What is the Botanical name for the flowers mentioned: "Herb Robert" and "Lady's Bedstraw"?

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Herb Robert is Geranium robertianum and Ladies Bedstraw is Galium verum

[@tinnerste2507]

Is that sea chammomile the same as roman chammomile?

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

They are very similar but not the same plant. Sea Chamomile has the same properties, relaxing and soothing but I find it much weaker.

[@tinnerste2507]

@@DanusIrishHerbGarden i love the smell of roman chammomile, but i rarely fjnd any info on its uses. It smells very strong, and differe t from german chammomile, that i would think it has different properties. I just grow it for its perfume, cause im concerned its a bit too strong to have as a tea. Do you have any experience using it?

[@alanrobinson2229]

Is this typical weather?

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

It used to be....this year was quite good weather wise especially at the beginning of spring/summer.

I can ask mum never to get rid if what she calls "weeds"
