Following two popular events this year, Sip into Autumn returns to The Exchange, this time turning our attention to the berries, roots and seeds of the season.
Autumn carries a different kind of medicine. Where spring and summer gave us fresh leaves and flowers for light infusions, autumn's medicine sits in denser material: berries, roots, seeds and mushrooms, whose constituents need drawing out more slowly. Many of them are ripening in our gardens and hedgerows right now.
In this hands-on workshop, Medical Herbalist Jola Kaczmarek will guide you through the garden at The Exchange to discover the season's plants in their natural setting, how to identify them according to botanical principles, and what makes each one distinctive.
We'll then gather together to make a syrup for the colder months ahead.
You'll leave with your own bottled syrup to take home and share with your friends and family.
All equipment and plant material provided. No experience needed.
* Alongside walks and workshops, I see patients for individually formulated herbal prescriptions. If you'd like to know how that works, read about consultations.
