Today wasn’t just a walk 🌳it was a reminder that the land already holds medicine.

As part of Give an Hour for 🌍, a GreenRock initiative leading up to Earth Day this Wednesday, we hosted a guided herbal walk with Doreen Williams of Wild Herbs and Plants.

Through both a medicinal and traditional lens, we explored Bermuda’s living apothecary, from golden rod supporting urinary health and tissue repair,
to plantain as a vulnerary for skin healing and inflammation,
to Jamaican vervain regulating the nervous system,
to Spanish needle with antiviral properties,
to fennel aiding digestion,
and wild coastal greens offering mineral-rich nourishment.

Alongside this was the transmission of generational knowledge, much of it unwritten, yet deeply practiced and observed.

We reflected on the principle that what grows in each season often aligns with the body’s needs, something consistently recognized across traditional systems of medicine.

We tasted, touched, observed, and engaged directly with the plants.

And it made me reflect once again on how far we’ve moved away from what is naturally available to support our health and sustains us.

There is deep intelligence in these systems, not only as medicine, but as a foundation for food security and food sovereignty.

The ability to recognize, grow, and utilize what is locally available is not just about tradition, is about resilience, independence, and the future of how we nourish and sustain our communities.

Because this is not just knowledge.

It is survival. It is health. It is sovereignty.

On Wednesday, April 22nd, from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM, Greenrock invites the Bermuda community to gather at Victoria Park for an Earth Day experience grounded in reflection, learning, and meaningful connection.

Earth Day is a moment to pause and consider something fundamental: our lives are sustained by systems we did not create, but are responsible for protecting.

Our oceans.
Our soil.
Our air.
Our water.

These are the systems that feed us, support us, and sustain life on this island.

This Earth Day, the invitation is simple:

Come outside, spend time in nature, learn something new, connect with others, reflect on what sustains your life, and how you can help protect it.

Sustainability activities planned for Earth Day Residents have been invited to take part in several sustainability activities at Victoria Park next week to mark Earth Day. Eugene Dean, the executive director of Greenrock, said the event — which wi...
