Participants will leave with enough knowledge and confidence to start using herbal teas immediately to assist with treating many common minor ailments.

Join me at The Herb Garden where we will start by identifying some of the most important native Irish wild medicinal herbs and learning about their beneficial properties.
The identification session will be followed by a practical demonstration on the various methods I use to make medicinal herbal teas that also taste good, using both fresh and dried herbs.
