During these seasonal weekends, Christopher Hedley, a leading medical Herbalist, will bring the historical uses and folklore of plants together with up to date scientific research to explain and create a range of herbal remedies. Using the resources of Trill Farm, the hedgerows, woods and meadows, Christopher will help to you identify seasonal plants, and show you how to use them to create your own powerful and effective remedies. You will leave with plenty of wild harvest, and a range of treatments you have created: oils, balms, syrups and elixirs.

Christopher is well known internationally for his unique hands-on approach to the teaching of herbal medicine. A faculty member of the University of Westminster Complementary Therapies course, he was chair of the National Institute of Medical Herbalists postgraduate education board for many years. With his partner Non Shaw, Christopher is the co-author of several books on herbal medicine including ‘Herbal Remedies’.

Rooms are available from 4pm on Friday, the course finishes around 4pm on Sunday. Single rooms may be available for a supplement.
