Herbs Workshop with Jane Wrigglesworth
🌿 Sustainable Urban Living Workshops are back for 2025! 🌿
Herbs Workshop with Jane Wrigglesworth
Join us for a hands-on workshop where you’ll learn how to make a soothing herbal balm for cuts, scrapes, and minor skin irritations. Using healing herbs like calendula, plantain, and chamomile, you'll be guided through the process of infusing oils, blending natural beeswax (or a vegan alternative), and creating a nourishing salve.
Take home your own tin of balm and the skills to make more! Perfect for families, gardeners, and anyone keen on natural remedies.
This workshop is led by Jane Wrigglesworth, medical herbalist and author of The Everyday Herbalist.
