The door opens and a rugged man steps in, inhales deeply and smiles, “I just came in for a breath of fresh air.” It’s easy to understand why. The store is fresh with the aromas of cedar balsam, sweet grass and blueberries. It’s a far cry from the pre-spring décor of Edmonton. With its dusty roads and grey foliage, everything in the city seems to be laden with the sand and salt that winter has scattered through the city. Store owner Carrie Langevin smiles and chats with her friend, before he reluctantly leaves the small sanctuary. A pot of herbal tea steeps in the back, and as the door closes, a breeze of clean mint rushes forward to join the other aromas. This is a typical day at Mother Earth Essentials.
