Botanical Oitments Making Workshop

Learn how to make bespoke herbal ointments, balms and  infused oil with botanical goodness under the expert guidance of medical  herbalist, gardener and forager, Vicky Chown.

During the workshop, you'll gain insights to a variety of  medicinal herbs, learning to identify them and discovering their healing  properties. After a foraging tour, you’ll have the hands-on opportunity  to craft your own herbal ointment, utilizing the knowledge and  ingredients provided. Take home not only your handmade creation but also  a deeper understanding of the transformative power of herbal medicine. A  lovely chance to connect with nature and nurture your well-being in the  tranquil setting of OmVed Gardens.

Spaces for this workshop are very limited, so we encourage you to book as soon as possible to guarantee your place.
