WHAT’S NEW

This week we welcome two new pop ups:

– Bob and Irene Brinsmead are bringing their tropical potted plants lovingly propagated by them to the market. These include galangal, turmeric, flowering gingers and heliconias, plumeria, moringa and dragon fruit. Most of these are edible plants and others are gloriously beautiful when in flower. This is a great gift and wonderful for you to enjoy in your garden too.

 

 

 

 

Have you always wanted to make your own beeswax wraps but unsure of the best method to use?This week Marianna with all you need to make your own beeswax wraps at home using her Bee Folk blend bars. My bars are lovingly made from a careful combination of beeswax, pine tree resin and organic Jojoba oil. When melted and applied to cloth this blend creates a pliable, water resistant wrap with an enduring natural adhesiveness, antibacterial and antifungal properties.

 

Don’t forget Huckelberry Bakes is at the market for another week or two so come and enjoy their delightfully delicious almond, chocolate and plain croissants and Danish pastries.
