Herbal Walks, Talks and Workshops

One of the joys of being a herbalist is sharing the secrets of the plants all around us.

Herbal medicine is the medicine of our ancestors and yet so much of this wisdom has been lost.

Being able to open people’s eyes to the beauty, power and stories of our herbal heritage is deeply rewarding.

Through this connection to the natural world, I hope we can foster care and wonder as we walk by our hedgerows, seeing old and new herbal friends.

Walks, talks and workshops are my way of offering people a glimpse, a taste, many senses of what herbal medicine is.

Exploring the stories of our wilds, the power of the plants and the joy of truly local medicine and health.

I run pop up seasonal herbal walks at various locations.

If you would like to book a private herbal walk, talk or workshop, please contact me directly.
