Wild at Heart - in nature

03/04/2026

I get so excited when the dandelions start to show. The sea of yellow on a sunny day reminding me of when I was a child. When my mother would warn me that they would make me wee! It is the sap of the stalk that has diuretic properties. The petals have many nutritional benefits. And yes it actually smells and tastes like honey!

One of my favourite wild plants - Cleavers - are emerging in the hundreds now. You may know them as goose grass, sticky Bob or Velcro grass where in our childhoods we would throw it at each others clothing to stick. Cleavers are a natural spring tonic good for the lymphatic system and have anti-inflammatory benefits. I like to have mine as a drink - haven been seeped in water overnight outside under the light of the moon. Disclaimer: as with all wild plants I forage respectfully and only when I am 100% certain that I can identify it.

I have for some time wanted to create a moon shaped wreath. So I made two! I have had such fun doing it that I would love to share how with you. This event takes place at my copse in Rotherwick as how wonderful to be within nature whilst making the wreaths. Message or email for more detail or to book.

So much fun had at our family woodcraft session yesterday making bunnies, chicks, woolly sheep (and a few sheepdogs!), charcoal pencils and tree climbing.

Today is the Spring equinox, a time for growth and life to emerge all around us. It is also the time that Wild af Heart is one year old. A year of self discovery for myself and others. Thank you to all that have enjoyed my sessions and workshops. Take time for you xx

There is something magical about being outside in nature in the dark. Watching these ladies walk away from our Wild Women evening feeling calmer and relaxed after two hours under the night sky connecting with their surroundings, each other and most importantly themselves

At the end of a busy week for all, as the sun went down we tried Free Writing then by the glow of the fire we made Willow bunny wreaths, enjoyed hot soup and embraced our surroundings. We finished with a gentle grounding meditation and left feeling self-connected and calm.

Beautiful spring willow wreaths made with dried flowers at our workshop last night. A gentle mindful evening with some lovely ladies. I am planning a moon wreath workshop in the summer so keep an eye out for that x
