one-day course

food for free

Identify, learn about, gather and cook edible roots, stems, leaves, flowers and fruits of our common plants.  In the autumn, we will focus mainly on mushrooms.

The spring course will be led by Nick Miller, Jude Greenan & Vanessa Neville, who will identify the many different forms of salads and herbs that you will find here, depending on the seasonal weather. 

There will also be a rabbit skinning and jointing demonstration by Malcolm Bendall, who will be happy to talk you through the process if you want to volunteer.

Vanessa Neville has a firm grounding in propagation and growing of medicinal herbs.  She is a professional arometherapist and is secretary of the post graduate training board of the National Institute of Medical Herbalists.

Jude Greenan has a certificate in permaculture design and training in biodrynamic gardening.  She bring her in-depth Shamanic knowledge and experience to the plant teachings in a grounded and practical way.
