We've had an icy, frosty, snowy start to 2021 in Glasgow, with very little foraging to be found outside. So, for a change this afternoon, I "foraged" a Begamot from 🍋🍊

I've used Bergamot essential oil many times, as well as enjoying the taste and aroma in Earl Grey tea. This weekend, I'm going to experiment with the zest and juice. For now, a squeeze and a slice make the perfect accompaniment to a gin and tonic. 🍸💚

Glasgow looking gloriously festive on this icy morning.

Reflecting on the year, yesterday was my final clinic of 2020, seeing new and established patients. Next year will be a blended mix of in-person and remote consultations, a very different year for us all I hope.

Chaga Kombucha 3 ways: plain; double Chaga; Blueberry - these will take a week or two for the second ferment, keeping an eye out for any extreme fizziness. 🍄💙🍄

Thanks to for the gifted Chaga from February's trip to Wales. Remember trips to other bits of the UK???? 🐉🚂🐉

Fermenting the Chaga will not only enhance the bioavailability, it will hopefully produce some complex and interesting flavours. 💚🧉💚

Amazing book on foraging and practical herbal medicine

Courses 2021 - excited to be planning Wild Things 1 for the first time in Glasgow in 2021 as part of 💚📚📑📗💚

We'll meet from March to October to explore edible and medicinal plants. The course is a blend of theoretical sessions, practical remedy making skillshares and group walks. We'll cover basic botany, ecology, sensory herbalism and (my favourite I think) low impact foraging.🌿🍵🌿

The course is offered on a sliding scale and we do have 1 subsidised space left which is at an even lower rate. Please get in touch here or on hello@grassrootsremedies if you have any questions or want to book. 🌱💚🌱

SNOW 🌨️❄️🌨️ Glasgow had a gentle flurry last night, so I'm wrapped up warm for a cosy bus journey to Edinburgh to meet my co-workers

We're going to be chatting all things Wild Things as we prepare for our seasonal plant medicine course in 2021.

Extra special bonus, I've bagged one of the prime top deck bus seats so have an amazing panaromaic view of the snowy M8.
