What we'll do
Join us on a slow-paced walk around the site, learning about the history, folklore and traditional uses of so many wild medicines growing all around us. It's a great chance to share what you've learned along the way too; there's so many stories attached to these plants. Towards the end of our walk, we'll use what we've collected to make infusions, bringing intention to our choices of the plants we're using to create. All materials provided. Any questions, get in touch: maria@healingweeds.co.uk
About your mentor
Healing Weeds
Herbalist and forager
After working in Forest Schools and Bushcraft Camps for a few years, alongside my years in other educational settings, I became interested in the healing properties of the plants we walk past every day. I was blown away by their potency so want to share with anyone else keen to learn about this forgotten knowledge.

Cancellation Policy
Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
