  experimentalfarmnetwork Mānuka flowers!! (Leptospermum scoparium) If you ever shop in a health food or alternative medicine store, you're probably familiar with "Mānuka honey." Often sold for 5 or even 10 times the cost of a typical honey, Mānuka honey is mainly known for its antibiotic properties (confirmed in lab studies), but it is used medicinally for a range of ailments. The plant itself, native to New Zealand and Australia, has a long history of medicinal use by the indigenous peoples of the region, particularly Māori people. A few years ago we got ahold of a few seeds of this coveted member of the Myrtle family. While we're usually willing to try anything, we figured the plant wizards of @wellsweepherbfarm had a much better chance of getting the seeds to sprout and then keeping the plants alive. A few years later our hunch has been proven correct (and then some!). Young plant wizard Patrick McDuffee -- the 3rd generation of the Hyde family working at Well Sweep -- managed to get two seeds to sprout and raised both to maturity. They're flowering already! And he's already given me two rooted cuttings! A greenhouse in the NJ Highlands is a far cry from New Zealand, but these mānuka don't seem to mind at all! If you're anywhere near our region, come out on June 1st and 2nd to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Well Sweep Herb Farm! It's going to a great weekend, full of fun festivities, interesting vendors (including us), and unbelievably awesome plants!
