Interested in Herbal Home-ed Programme? Join Alice at The Autumn Family Foraging Day for a taster.

Come as a family to learn how to make some winter herbal remedies with the abundant hedgerow berries available at this time. Autumn is the time for deep nourishment, building up our stores of nutrients and supporting our immune systems ready for the cold months ahead.

As the start of the harvest season technically begins, it is often a more barren time of year in the foraging diaries, as the flowers have mostly passed and the fruits and nuts are not yet ripe.

Let’s come together and see what we might find for food and medicine and let us gather to create a harvest ritual of gratitude and prayer together.
