AROMA-CORNER
We have just arranged a nice aroma-corner near our Aromatic Garden. It invites us to aromatic gatherings and chats about essential oils and hydrolates.

EYWINEO HYDROSOLS COLLECTION
This summer brought its full lushness to our shelves. We designed a wider offer of EYWINEO hydrosols. 9 new fragrant hydrosols were formed, joining to the previous seven. Without exception, they are a real treat for nose and body. These are our new hydrosols: peppermint oregano wormwood thyme hyssop lavender yarrow chamomile clary sage You
ANOTHER BLUE COLOURED ESSENTIAL OIL
After we created our first blue chamomile essential oil in May, this time we managed to get a beautiful azure blue colour with yarrow essential oil as well. The distillation was very long. We did not filter it intentionally, we also left part of the hydrosol unfiltered. In that way we kept its blue colour,

SOLSTICE – DAY OF THE SUN IN THE COMPANY OF THE PLANT OF THE SUN
The solstice is the day of the Sun. How could I honour him more beautifully than in the company of the plant of the Sun – IMMORTELLE! In the ancient times, people associated plants with the planets and attributed their powers to them. Immortelle has been associated with the Sun, which is by no means

I got myself quite a few botanical books, dissected chamomile petals under a magnifying glass, read articles. But all that time I missed a vivid
ROSES – MY ETERNAL BOTANICAL LOVE
Apart from all the herbs that have surrounded me in my new garden for the past two years, roses remain my first and greatest botanical love. For me, there is no plant that can take their place. This love affair began more than a decade ago. I lived in a world of individuals to whom
ADRIATIC COAST, SAGE AND DISTILLER’S HEAVEN
We are finally back on the Adriatic, in our distiller’s heaven. Inimitably beautiful nature, clear blue sea and an abundance of Mediterranean aromatic herbs that grow freely in the nature. We found whole fields of sage, its purple flowers are visible from afar. Its scent hovers in the air and we came at the last
SCABROSA ROSE- ANOTHER FRAGRANT SPECIALTY
I love the varied and sophisticated scents of roses and this one is another speciality. The Scabrosa rose belongs to the variety of Rugosa roses. Robust and durable, bushy, very easy to cultivate, especially for beginners. With the general admiration that the Damascenas get, it remains a bit unnoticed, but to me quite unjustly. Her
ROSE MARMELADE – OLD FASHIONED SLOVENE RECIPE OF JELENA DE BELDER
A few days ago I wrote about the wonderful scent of the Agnes rose. It grows along the border land of my neighbour Vida, who is an excellent culinary master, creating out of herbs and flowers. Vida has learned her art from a famous Slovenian flower lover* Baroness Jelena de Belder. Thanks to Jelena’s old
