Spring is finally here and we can observe how nature is slowly waking up from it´s long winter nap.
We can spot the first buds of trees opening, flowers shining in the sun and even see bees, who are flying out for their first meals.
Now is the perfect time to go out into nature and discover which nourishing wild herbs the soil has to offer! In Herbalism early spring is also the time to cleanse the body from the long winter days on which we might have had a rather heavy diet and didn´t have sufficient access to fresh green and a variety of nutrients. Luckily nature has timed it just perfect so that many of the early spring herbs are perfect to boost our health and stimulate our digestive system.
In the Workshop we will look more closely at the most common spring herbs. You will learn how to recognize them, where to find them and how to use them in the kitchen and as a herbal remedy. Besides, you will learn some basics of Botany and Herbalism, which will help you later to identify wild plants by yourself.
The key when learning about wild plants is the direct interaction with them. Therefore, you will be able to create two unique herbal products, which you take home with you. :)
