Midummer Herbs and Herbal Remedies workshop 29th of June

In midsummer, the landscape becomes enchanted with wildflowers in bloom and the intoxicating scents of summer all around. Some plants are only beginning to thrive in the warmth of the summer heat, while others are already producing their aromatic seeds. Plants can be used in all stages of their growth for different purposes. During this workshop, you will learn how to identify wild plants, their flowers and seeds, and how to use them as spices, teas, and herbal remedies.

The course will help you build a small home herbal apothecary to support your wellbeing and for the internal and external self-care of minor ailments. You will also enrich your spice cabinet and learn versatile ways to use wild herbs in teas. Around 15 plants will be introduced during the course. The course is suitable both for beginners and for those who already have some experience with wild herbs. At the end of the course, we will also prepare a small herbal extract for you to take home.

The course is guided by biologist, herbalist, and wild herb advisor Anna Nyman. Anna is one of the authors of the book Villiyrtit hyvinvointia kotikulmilta and the special magazine Kuusi yrtinaikaa www.annanyman.fi Welcome to learn something new and enjoy the gifts of our local nature!
