Yet not so long agoā¦ it was valued more than gold.

A plant once deeply woven into everyday lifeā¦ now often overlooked as we walk past it each day.
Our ancestors would be surprised to hear this wild and free wildflower has been forgotten. To us it would be like forgetting what paracetamol is!
In this video, we slow down and reconnect with this ancient plantā¦ exploring its beauty, its history, and preparing a simple ground ivy tea historically known as Gills tea, used to heal a long list of ailments for generations.
Because sometimesā¦ the greatest treasures arenāt made from expensive diamonds and goldā¦ Theyāre growing quietly beneath our feet for freeš
