Wow, what a year! Our hearts are full as we reflect on another packed year at Hackney Herbal. This one was extra special as we celebrated our 10th Birthday. As we approach the incoming solstice and the end of the year we are once again so grateful for all of you who are part of our community. You make Hackney Herbal what it is and without you and we are so thankful for this.

Hackney Herbal was established with the core aim of making nature-based activities accessible and freely available to people in our local community. Here is a snapshot of our social impact in numbers and some photo highlights from 2025.

Thank you to all of you who support and enrich our work by coming to workshops and events, buying our tea, volunteering in the garden and everyone here for simply following along. It’s been a pleasure to work with so many people who share our passions for the natural world and all the incredible creatures it sustains.

Thank you also to all our collaborators, clients, stockists, funders and partners without which we would not be able to deliver this valuable work. Sending love to you all! 💚

Happy Sahmain!
As we welcome the Gaelic festival of Sahmain we are marking the transition towards the darker phase of the year. All around us trees are dropping their leaves and our natural landscapes are starting to become bare echoing the themes of death and dormancy that this festival carries.

During this time the veil between the living world and the spirit world is very thin, so has typically been a time when we can connect with our ancestors and communicate with the dead. In folklore it’s believed that seeing a Robin is a sign of a deceased loved one coming to visit “When robins appear, loved ones are near”.

At this time we are remembering and giving thanks to all the witches, healers and medicine people who were vilified and violently murdered throughout the 15th to 18th century witch hunts in England. Many modern halloween traditions have framed witches as wicked crones casting evil spells instead of casting a light on those who were persecuting and murdering them. It seems history has a habit of repeating itself, with those who hold too much power being able to cruelly vilify innocent people. Sending strength and love to all those around the world facing unfathomable violence for simple being alive 🧡🧡🍉🍉

Our community 🧡
You’ve probably noticed we’ve been having a few birthday events to celebrate turning 10 this year. Back in August, we organised a birthday get together for our community members and special friends. It was so special to bring together team members past and present along with community members from across the entire timeline of HH. There was a huge amount of love in the room as some of us shared what Hackney Herbal means to us. We had a delicious Palestinian feast cooked for us by Mayya from and 2 beautiful cakes made by Iva

It’s these moments which really remind us why we do the work that we do even when it’s felt quite hard over the last few years navigating the post brexit, post covid, cost of living crisis landscape. Combined with a state of the world that makes it’s harder and harder to feel inspired, optimistic and motivated. Being together like this reinforces how special and supportive our little community is and is the best medicine for the times we are in. Thank you to everyone who has been involved along the way. Hackney Herbal is what it is because of you. 💚🧡

Early autumn feels 🍃🍂
Leaning in to the changing season, letting go of summer and embracing autumn. Spending time taking stock, enjoying the cool mornings and still warm sun when it pokes out. Making the most of the dry days and getting on with seed saving, creating bountiful stock to share in the coming season. Watching the wild creatures foraging and fattening up for winter. Chasing the pinky skies. Drinking plenty of tea. Lighting candles, gathering round fires and surrendering to the quieter times to come. Sending cosy vibes to you all 🧡
