Urban Herbology

Urban Herbology Online & In-person Herbology Course - Urban Foraging - Herbs - City Nature For around 20 years, I have been working with herbs. My own mentor is Glennie Kindred.

Join me for fascinating herb walks in Amsterdam, mentoring sessions, workshops or a year long apprenticeship through online study and gatherings. I have studied herbalism (non-clinical) in the UK, also with American wise woman Susun Weed, studied Permaculture with Patrick Whitefield and gained my PDC from Permaculture Visions. I am a member of the Dutch Gilde van Wildplukkers. I strongly favour and recommend nourishing/tonic and perennial herbs above others and recommend that you seek expert advice before trying to treat any problem with herbs. I only harvest what I am absolutely certain of and advise anyone else trying it to do the same. Let me empower you to work deeply with the plants which grow around you.

Oh what a flavourful weekend has been had! A little photo dump from . The best taste in the world is surely cacao - it is like a medicine to me and maybe for you too!?

Learned and tasted so much at the festival. Enjoyed masterclasses from Tanquaray Rum and, tastings and met other chocolate lovers.

Brought plenty home to experiment with. Herby-choctail-plans afoot!

Thank you to for getting me there and for some more beautiful materials to play with!

Venezuelan cacao wins every time for me - But what's your favourite?

I always love walking to my Thursday morning clinic at Elements of Energy near the Magere Brug in the centre of Amsterdam — but today was so beautiful I had to share the view with you.

Hosting another simple peaceful gathering to celebrate the first signs of spring - Imbolc - in Park Frankendael. All welcome. Bring along a warm drink and cup, and a lantern/ candle if you can. Ceremonial cloaks and any instruments welcome too! We'll gather at the main entrance of the park at 18.30 on Sunday 1st Feb. As part of the ritual this time, am planning to set intentions for the group to continue some ecological spell work together-apart until the following festival gathering (Spring Equinox). I've posted details also in my MeetUp group (Urban Herbology). DM any questions. Maybe see you there /|

An apple pie for tonight’s wassailing, made with a 17th-century recipe to honour the land and its history.

Apples and raisins poached in wine, with spices and unrefined sugar.

Sorry about the dodgy singing - We'll be wassailing in the River of Herbs Orchards, Park Frankendael. 18.30 - meeting at the main entrance of the park (the one closest to Restaurant Merkelbach). Bring some toast, or apple cake, maybe some mulled cider, if you can. And something to make a bit of noise to frighten unwelcome spirits and encourage the trees to bear fruit this coming year... hopefully see you there!

Revisiting the River Frome this summer — a place I grew up, and a reminder of how landscapes shape us.

The Green City Witch course begins with this kind of remembering: land, self, and relationship — wherever you live.

What a day. I’ve just wrapped up leading the Artisans of Taste hyper local botanicals masterclass with Diplomático Rum here in Amsterdam — an intense and inspiring session with some of the country’s most curious bartenders.

We explored local herbs, rum, chocolate, honey, elixirs, and other infusions that I’ve been quietly preparing over the past months. The conversations were sharp, the questions deep — everything from sustainable sourcing to flavour layering to how far a herb walk can take a cocktail.

Hands sticky with honey and syrup by the end — and a .amsterdam daiquiri that sealed it perfectly.

Grateful for the attention, humour and open minds in the room, and to excellent organisation. I'm so looking forward to learning what the mixologists make of it all.

Here's to more rum, herbs, and fun!
