Hercrafting


Gathering wild plants is a very pleasurable business. Learn the best conditions and methods for this timeless activity. Learn the part of different plants that contains the active ingredients and how to harvest them for your health.

Blending teas is great fun. The herbs look and smell beautiful and mixing them to suit your own needs is really satisfying. Imagine taking home a tea that you have blended specifically for you or as a present for someone you love.

It’s also very creative mixing the different colours of flowers and leaves, just as an artist chooses colours from their palette to make a painting.

Tincture making is a useful tool. It involves steeping the plant material in a mixture of water and alcohol. This preserves it for many years and provides a stable medium in which to keep the medicines you have made.
