Tansy Blossom
Cowbridge Physic Garden, Vale Of Glamorgan, South Wales
In medieval times it covered the floors in many homes before carpets were introduced as an alternative to strewing herbs.
Tansy was also called “Bible leaf”. It was not uncommon to use the leaves as bookmarks in the Bible.
The leaves exposed a mint-like scent when the reader opened the Bible.
An old superstition claimed that putting a tansy flower in your shoe would ensure a safe journey.
