Hands on Herbal Workshops

 The air chills, nights draw in and the trees are bare. Like our ancestors before us we look towards winter with the health of ourselves and our families. There is a lot we can do this time of the year in readiness for coughs colds, flu and other viruses and its nice to spend time outside in a beautiful garden learning about herbs to support us through winter and learn the skills of medicine making. In this full day session which is run in conjunction with the Northern School of Permaculture we will be working with root medicine of Angelica, Elecampane, marshmallow and Thyme as our key herbs as well as utilising some of the amazing medicines found on markets and good grocers such as Ginger, Cinnamon, Star anise, garlic and Tumeric. We will be learning how to manage winter viruses and fevers as well as making a cold busting drink from kitchen cupboard ingredients, a fire cider vinegar and cough medicine. The cost of the day is £60 and includes what we make to take home. Numbers are limited to booking is advisable
