Homemade Apothecary II.

Meet the unsung heroes of our gardens, hedgerows and meadows. We will browse through a herb garden and wild hedgerows to find the common (but very special) plants that can help with minor upsets, acute infections and even chronic ailments. We will learn about how best to extract the plants' medicinal properties and how to preserve them. You will create your own remedy and will leave with a comprehensive handout about our common healing herbs.

This time we will take a look at infused oils. This workshop is a standalone event but can be combined with a later one, where we will create balms and creams (date tbc), using these infused oils.

The even includes a short walk on uneven surface (farm tracks), medicine making experience and sampling of herbal teas. Light refreshment provided.

Hopper Hut is located at TN57HR, past Overys Farmhouse on a sharp bend, the next right…
