The Herbal Apprentice (7 weeks)
Event description
From Farm to Pharmacy, you will learn essential gardening practices, techniques of germination and cultivation, harvesting, drying and storing plant material, and catalysing this material into herbal medicines.
This seven week program has been developed for those wanting a casual, comfortable space in the garden, a grassroots connection to the living vivacity around us and an experience to learn from a Herbal mentor in a relaxed garden setting.
Trainer Bio
The Perma Pixie is passionate and motivated to inspire and educate people to live more nourishing and regenerative lifestyles with a deep connection to Nature.
Using her skills of Permaculture and Herbalism, she reminds those wishing for a deeper sense of purpose that individual and collective action can generate change and reformat the current state of humanity.
Willow Herb-nerd is driven by a deep love of life and a curiosity of systems and mechanisms that make everything possible. She combines old knowledge with modern science, always questioning the inner workings and complexities of the natural world to develop well thought out solutions.
Working to de-mystify the wisdom of plants, Willow translates this to everyday life so that others can access this lost knowledge and reclaim their relationship to the land.
