How to get started in the world of herbs ⚘

Join Johanna / Foraging Gardener for an introduction to herbalism.

We’ll explore a few common medicinal plants growing in Edinburgh and ways to start working with them.

Together, we’ll delve into questions around herbs, knowledge and our relationships with plants. What does it mean to reclaim plant knowledge? How are our relationships with plants shaped by capitalism? Who has access to land and plant knowledge? What happens when plants become commodities? Could herbalism be a form of community care?

Leave with a handmade zine full of resources to continue your herbal journey.
