Back on Track and Lisa from Hinoki Forest bathing are collaborating again to bring you a wonderful experience of summer foraging
With long warm days, midsummer is a magical time to forage culinary and medicinal wild plants. Several species are traditionally thought to reach their peak in midsummer, including yarrow, St John’s Wort, and mugwort. Join us for a mindful walk in nature in search of wild edibles for your kitchen and natural apothecary. We finish our walk with a taste of wild food, teas and tonics made with foraged ingredients and a sample of homemade herbal medicine made with foraged plants.
Lisa is very knowledgable and a fantastic teacher and you’ll be taking away many tips for making your own natural remedies.
We finish our session with a taste of wild food (a drink and a food item made of foraged ingredients)
