Join us for a workshop exploring the rich traditions of hedgerow healing and home remedies that have been passed down through Romani and working-class communities. We will dip our toes into the practical and nurturing ways these communities used plants for food, medicine and wellbeing.You’ll learn about common hedgerow plants, their healing properties and some folklore surrounding them. Such as Elderflower for headaches and Hawthorn for heart health. We’ll also discuss how these remedies were shared and adapted within communities through word-of-mouth and lived experience.

You’ll get to create your own herbal blends to take home. One for a soothing tea and another for a relaxing bath or foot soak. You’ll have the chance to connect with others through a Remedy Exchange, where you can be part of the tradition of passing down remedies through generations.
