The plant we’re going to connect with in June is Yarrow also known as Nosebleed or
Soldier’s woundwort. Its Latin name is Achillea millefolium. It is connected to a Greek hero
Achilles and if you like to find out the full story, join our tea ceremony!
Yarrow attracts pollinators and could be seen in the wildlife and in the naturalised gardens
too. It is often used in the gardens as a companion plant, because it attracts ladybirds,
hover-flies and predatory wasps that are helpful against many pests.
Yarrow was traditionally used as a remedy for haemorrhage, cuts, deep fever, wounds, blood
blisters, as a digestive stimulant and as a female medicine. Crushed leaves packed into the
wound have antimicrobial and antibacterial properties, so it is wise to use them in any
outdoor or domestic accidents
