Workshop: Harvesting the meadow: Herbal remedies for warm days
Summer hums with green abundance. Hedgerows are lush, meadows shimmer, and flowers open wide to the sun, offering colour, fragrance and medicine. This seasonal workshop invites you to gather that energy and turn it into simple, effective remedies for the warmer months.
Herbal medicine in summer is all about cooling, soothing, and supporting the body as it moves through heat and sun-soaked days. Together, we’ll explore how to identify and harvest vibrant summer herbs and transform them into practical preparations.
We’ll explore a wide range of herbs you may already have in your garden, balcony or growing around you. Together, we’ll craft practical remedies like tinctures, cooling and refreshing teas, oxymels, herbal infused oils, and balms.
No experience is needed. Whether you’re brand new to herbalism or looking to deepen your seasonal practice, you’ll leave with practical skills, shared wisdom, remedies and a deeper connection to the medicine blooming all around you.
