Gardening Workshop: Growing and Using Healing Herbs

Dig into the fascinating world of herbs in this hands-on gardening session in Manchester, where you'll learn the essential skills to grow your own and discover the rich stories behind them. It's a calm, feel-good way to get your hands in the soil and bring a little green into your life.

You'll start by learning how to sow seeds and propagate plants from cuttings and root divisions, then put those skills straight to work growing a range of herbs. Along the way, you'll find out how these plants have been used throughout history, and how modern science and traditional knowledge come together to shape what we know about them today.

There's a soothing moment to savour, too, as you brew your own healing herbal tea to sip and enjoy.

This session is a brilliant fit for team-building or wellbeing days, community groups, or friends and family who'd love to learn something new together.

You'll head home with a collection of propagated plants ready to become the start of your very own herb garden – a living keepsake that'll keep growing long after the session ends.

This session is to be carried out at your own venue/location - please specify this when completing your booking. I will then be in touch with you to arrange the specifics! This could be at your workplace, community venue, or even at home!

During this course, we will make preparations involving various plants, herbs and spices. Some of these plants may cause negative reactions amongst some people, or may interact with certain medications. Furthermore, some herbs can carry risks for people who are pregnant or breastfeeding. I will do my best to inform you where I can, but it is your responsibility to do your own research before the sessions, and to not participate if you are concerned there is any risk to your health. By joining the course, you accept responsibility for your health and that you will not participate in any activity that may harm your health. I am not a medical practitioner - you should always contact a healthcare specialist if you are concerned about your health, and to discuss any risks to your health that may arise from particular plants and ingredients.

We will also carry out physical gardening tasks such as digging, planting, pruning, etc., which carry risks of physical injury. It is your responsibility to carry out tasks in a safe manner and without endangering other participants. If you have any health conditions or injuries which will affect your ability to carry out any tasks, you should let me know beforehand so any necessary accommodations can be made. Please let me know details of any allergies or intolerances, or any health information that you feel is relevant.

Your data will be held securely, and I will only use your information to contact you about the course when necessary, such as queries about payments, changes to dates/times or reminders.

Course fees are non-refundable, though reservations can be transferred to a future session. Exceptions can be made in extenuating circumstances at the discretion of the tutor.
