Would you like to know how to use herbs to support your wellbeing but don’t know where to start?
In this beginners workshop, you will be introduced to a variety of herbs and shown how to use them to make teas, oxymels, oil infusions and balms. An opportunity to indulge in herbalism to discover and connect to the plants growing around us.
The workshop will include:
– how to dry & store herbs
– how to make herbal tea infusions
– how to make a herbal oxymel (using our own Hamilton Honey)
– herbal cake & tea break
– how to prepare an oil infusion
– how to make a soothing balm (using organic beeswax from our hives)
All materials will be provided but please wear clothing suitable for the outdoors as they will try to spend some time in the garden (and can’t guarantee sun unfortunately!).
Please note – they will be using honey and beeswax from their sustainably managed bee hives located on site in our community garden.
If you would prefer not to use honey / bees wax, please get in touch ahead of the class and they can organise alternative products for you to use.
