Ginkgo biloba

Native to China and now grown throughout the world, it is revered for its beautiful fan-shaped leaves and edible seeds.

Having no living relatives, it is believed to be biologically one of world’s oldest living tree species, earning it the name “living fossil”. It is also a dioecious, meaning there are both male and female trees.

Its botanical name is derived from the Chinese word ginkyo meaning ‘silver apricot’, which refers to the fruit’s silver bloom, and the seed’s size and appearance resembling a small apricot.

This plant can be used in Traditional Chinese Medicine to:

• Promote healthy blood circulation
• Invigorate blood
• Promote the flow of blood

The Chinese culture has admired the ginkgo tree for centuries. Its prominent fruit is considered a delicacy for food and medicinal purpose. It’s been revered as a sacred plant and as such, nicknamed by the Chinese as the Ancestor Tree, Buddha’s Fingernail Tree and Eyes of the Cosmic Spirit Tree. It was also a tributary item offered to the Imperial Court, to be used in the Emperor’s banquets.

Salvia rosmarinus

Native to the Mediterranean region, this woody, fragrant perennial is now widely available all over the world as a culinary condiment, medicinal benefits and fragrance properties.

Rosemary is a member of the mint family Lamiaceae, along with many other herbs, such as Oregano, Thyme, Basil and Lavender.
Its botanical name, Rosmarinus, is derived from the Greek word ros and marinus meaning ‘dew of the sea’, drawing on its Mediterranean origins.

Enriched with meaning from folklore, this herb has been used to celebrate weddings, grieve at funerals and act as a token of remembrance on ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day in Australia, due to its growth on the Gallipoli peninsula.
