Join ELL & community herbalist Rasheeqa (Hedge Herbs) for a Saturday morning wander around the varied plant-scapes of Finsbury Park, exploring the health-supporting actions, uses and preparations of the medicinal herbs, flowers, shrubs and trees we find. Sharing knowledge about history, folklore, current research and practical applications in herbal medicine, we shall open the world of our local healing cabinets.
We’ll conclude the session with tastings of fresh-gathered seasonal plants made into infusions to experience the plants sensorily in our own bodies.
Course Trainer: Rasheeqa Ahmad, a qualified medical herbalist based in Walthamstow, east London.

Connect to self, to others and to nature in your garden.
Feeling connected to nature has been shown to be beneficial to wellbeing and pro-environmental behaviour. In this session you will:
- Discover new practices for developing a deep nature connection
- Play games that will use all your senses to increase your awareness
- Find out how direct experience, rather than knowledge, will provoke your curiosity
You will take away simple and inspiring experiences that will be useful for you and could easily be shared with others.
