Even in our Kyoto herb garden, we’re in the middle of a heated (and hot!) battle against the weeds.
As you can see in the photo, the sky is beautifully clear and blue. But when you look down at your feet, there’s a sea of lush green weeds everywhere! (Phew…)
This is simply part of the scenery when practicing natural cultivation. Our trusty tractor is doing a great job helping us out. Even with the help of machinery, operating it under the blazing summer sun is no easy task. It’s hot!
Still, we continue growing herbs because of the wonderful benefits they can bring to our well-being. Their rich aromas gently soothe minds that have become tense from the busyness of everyday life, help calm the nervous system, and create a deep sense of relaxation. One of the true charms of herbs is their ability to gently support a healthy balance of body and mind from within.
Our Kyoto-grown herbs are growing strong as they endure the harsh summer conditions. We remain dedicated to caring for the soil and plants every day, doing our very best to bring you the finest natural moments of relaxation!
