This day workshop gives you the opportunity to learn about the wild medicinal herbs growing around us.  Not only are we able to eat a lot of these wild plants, but they also have amazing medicinal and health-giving properties, useful in preventing and treating our seasonal ailments.

During the day you will be out and about learning easy ways to identify a variety of spring herbs.  Learn all about the medicinal/health giving properties of the herbs we find and how you can use them to enhance your day to day health and wellbeing.  Forage and use the bounty we find to cook lunch together; giving you a variety of recipes to take home with you.  Learn to make delicious infused vinegars and spring time tea blends.

Gardening, walking and weeding will become an opportunity to create wellness for the whole family in a way that is fun, easy and tasty.

Dee’s interest in herbs started as a young girl, decades later it now fills every corner of her life and cupboards.  It started out as something that was just for her but has developed and deepened over the years.  Dee’s formal studies were spent in apprenticeship out in nature and she knew then that it was important to be sharing this knowledge.
