Beltane is here 🌸🔥
A time of blooming, fertility & fire.

The hedgerows are bursting into life and this is when our local herbs are at their most vibrant. They're ready to be gathered, worked with, and honoured.

In this weekend’s Spring Herbal Workshop, we’ll step into that magic together
✨ sitting in circle in the bell tent
✨ working with fresh spring herbs
✨ crafting remedies to take home
✨ sharing a nourishing, herbal-inspired meal by the fire

This is a space to slow down, reconnect with the land, and remember the quiet wisdom of plants and season.

There are just a couple of spaces left now. If you’ve been feeling the call, this is the moment to follow it.

Come and mark Beltane in a way that’s earthy, real, and deeply nourishing 🌿🔥

🌱 Join me for an intimate, hands-on herbal workshop celebrating the energy of spring and the plants that emerge with it. Over five nourishing hours, we’ll explore the medicine of spring herbs. How they detoxify, invigorate, and gently support the body’s transition out of winter. Held between my cosy cabin, bell tent, and open fire, the day will unfold in rhythm with the land...grounded, warm, and deeply connected to nature. Together, we’ll create a variety of herbal preparations for you to take home, deepening both your knowledge and your relationship with these living allies. A lovingly prepared, nature inspired lunch is included, with space to slow down, share, and connect. With only 8 spaces available, this small group offering allows for a personal, immersive experience 🌱

Here is your gentle reminder to make cold water infusions of Cleavers, a.k.a sticky w**d, in the late afternoons. It's such a simple but potent remedy. Take a handful of cleaves, give the bugs some time to find another home, rinse them, add to a jar with filtered water and that is it.

Cold water helps preserve its delicate constituents,. Cleavers has an affinity for the lymphatic system, supporting the movement of lymph...the fluid responsible for clearing cellular waste, immune byproducts, and excess proteins from the tissues.
Unlike the cardiovascular system, the lymphatic system doesn’t have a pump. It relies on hydration, movement, and gentle herbal support like cleavers to keep things flowing. When lymph becomes sluggish, it can show up as puffiness, congestion, or skin flare-ups.
Sipping a cold infusion offers both hydration and a subtle stimulus to lymphatic drainage, helping the body clear, move, and rebalance.

Sip throughout the next day and let it quietly get to work 🌿

Wow! The difference in a year ✨ The second video is a year ago today. I had a vision, but no furniture and was quickly running out of money...then marketplace came through with some absolute delights. I rooted out some of my grannies pieces and my mum's rugs and you can see the result. I'm so happy that I get to work here....it's a dream come true. I qualified as a medical Herbalist 8 years ago. I never could have guessed back then that this is where I'd be working from ☀️

I'm back to work in a frosty cabin this morning ❄️🤍❄️
Get in touch if you're in need of cold & flu remedies or want to book in for a consultation. My doors are open & the heat is on. With warm hands and a steady heart, after a wonderful Yuletide with family & friends. Benj took a warming shot & herbal tea to go and work on the land this morning. Turmeric, Ginger & Cayenne should hopefully keep the blood flowing to his fingers & toes ✨
• Prescriptions are going out •
• Medicines are being made •
♡ Blessed be & Blessed be again ♡
