Come along and share the delights of Natures Wild Medicine Chest with Nicola Dee Kelly MNIMH . We will be foraging the garden and hedgerow for treasures to create a wide variety of preparations. These will include poultices, compresses, infusions, tinctures, oils, ointments, syrups, flower waters etc.

As we head into Autumn its good to be familiar with herbs and plants that will strengthen our immune system and also soothe the chills and ills of the coming winter months.
