Kelowna's Juicy Tips

Wow, August long weekend already! Seems like July just flew by. It’s a gorgeous long weekend in Kelowna, with temperature highs forecasted to be in the 30s, and a scattering of showers here and there to cool us off. This gives me the perfect opportunity to talk about one of our favourite Kelowna pastimes in [...]

Many of us have Echinacea growing in our gardens. Some of us might also know that Echinacea is not just another pretty flower – it has strong immune boosting and anti-bacterial properties that have resulted in it being used in all kinds of herbal remedies for hundreds of years.
