herbs

My choice of workshop at Cample Line today - learning about herbs and plants and their medicinal uses with Sarah Jane Scouten.

We spent the first hour and a half outside, looking at the plants in the green space around the mill, hearing Sarah talk and tasting seeds, leaves, hips and haws. The rest of the session was spent indoors, making and tasting various teas - sage, rose petal and nettle. Sarah was so enthusiastic about her subject! The workshop overran by half an hour and we could have listened for even longer if the space hadn’t been needed for a yoga retreat. We are hoping for another one in the future, maybe with some songs about herbs (Sarah is also a country singer :-) )

What a great weekend we have had!
