Just in case anyone's interested....



Autumn Workshops


October 2010


The next workshop on Hedgerow Medicine Making is on Saturday 2nd October. We will begin with a herb walk, then make elderberry glycerite, a hawthorn berry tincture and other seasonal medicines.




The following day, Sunday 3rd October, will cover Kitchen Medicine. We will look briefly at the amazing history and origins of common kitchen cupboard basics, then make a variety of remedies that you can take home.




November 2010


Join us on Saturday 6th November for Making Herbal Christmas Presents. Make salt scrubs, bath bombs, herbal vinegars, infused oils and other goodies to give as presents or keep for yourself.




The following day, Sunday 7th November, we will focus on Chocolate Making, using raw cocoa powder and other natural organic ingredients to make delicious but healthy chocolates. if you don't eat them all on the way home, these make wonderful Christmas presents too.




Cost


The cost of each workshop is £60, which includes a vegetarian lunch, teas and cakes. Detailed notes will be given for each workshop, with recipes and resources, and raw materials will be available for purchase.




Special offer: Book a full weekend for only £110.




Booking and other details


Each workshop is limited to 8 participants, so book early to avoid disappointment. To book, phone (01508 489 256) or email (info@hedgerowmedicine.com) to check availability, then send a deposit of £25 to confirm your place.




The workshops are at our home in Ashwellthorpe, Norfolk. We can meet anyone coming by train at Wymondham station (3 miles away from our house); it is about 2 hours from London Kings Cross via Cambridge. We can recommend local B&Bs for anyone who wishes to stay overnight.

Thanks for passing this information on C.  They look rather good some of those courses and not too expensive.

Ooh, I might do a couple of these. It's really close to where I live.

If anyone else is thinking of doing some, let me know. We could have coffee Smiley

Oh Corrie, I have just found out from the husband/transport that I would not be able to get to the October herbal medicine weekend - will you be doing any in the spring that I could look forward to?

Hi Lilli,

PF website is  www.plushfolly.co.uk  It is based in Hampton. 

However, I am also freelance as I have been teaching herbal students at various educational establishments for lthe last few years and want to branch out.
