In the heart of Chelsea, hidden behind a wrought-iron gate and a heavy veil of morning mist, lay the teaching garden belonging to the apothecaries. This was a place where aspiring healers came to learn the ancient art of plant medicine. This garden was not merely an extensive and carefully curated collection of flora but a realm of it's own - where history, nature and the mystical subtly intermingled.
It was also the home of Isolde, who was the fairy patroness of the garden. Her dress, woven from the delicate petals of white lilies and shot through with silver moon dust, shimmered in the light and her raven hair tumbled down her back. She had watched over the garden for many years, a guardian spirit who knew every plant and every secret the garden held.
Isolde's favourite time was dawn when the garden was quiet and the first light of day made the dew on the petals sparkle like a thousand tiny diamonds. It was during these tranquil moments that she remembered the stories of old, when people believed in the balance of body and mind and plants were their allies in maintaining this harmony.
