We were blessed with a beautiful sunny day for a herb gardening guide day this week 🌿☀️🌿

Following on from the her garden design presentation last week, the Horsemanship for Health team joined me at Higher Nurture To find out how to plant out and look after the garden.

So good to get our hands in the soil!

I spent a wonderful weekend with an amazing group of Betonica 4 students teaching clinical skills, helping them to hone their training and prepare for their final clinical exams.

Like all of their Betonica year group, their curiosity and attention to detail is a testament to their hard work and dedication to their training to become medical herbalists.

As medical herbalists we are trained in the same diagnostic skills as GPs using the evidence we find to treat and resolve the root cause of ill health with herbal medicine.

This means that we can carry out respiratory, abdominal, cardiovascular and neurological examinations to help us diagnose and provide the herbal medicine you need.

Our treatment plans often work alongside conventional prescribed medicines and care, and we support our patients to access any testing and treatment needed alongside herbal medicine.

The training is rigorous and demanding as it should be, and Betonica takes pride in training medical herbalists to the highest standard.

This year 4 cohort will soon be entering their chosen career paths in herbal medicine and our world will be much richer for it. Very best of luck to them all in the months ahead, and beyond.

This week I was invited to Horsemanship for Health to present my community herb garden design to create a space to feel held and at peace in amongst the buzz of pollinators and nature 🌿💚🌿

Horsemanship for Health supports mental health through connection in collaboration with the NHS.

The location is nestled in the Stokeinteignhead valley and provides sheltered warmth and almost flat ground - the perfect spot to welcome people to connect and reconnect.

The design for the garden builds on this by using curving living walls and pathways to guide visitors through a sensory trail whilst encouraging exploration of the plants and providing seated areas in which to feel held.

The mixed planting draws on herbal medicine to support the nervous system whilst providing nectar and seed heads for insect hiding places.

In time it is hoped that visitors will enjoy herbal teas, wildlife watching and workshop in the space. Exciting times ahead!

The project continues next week with a herb growing workshop, followed by a herbal therapeutics and tea tasting workshop with the HMH team.
🌿💚🌿

Thank you so much to Belinda and the HMH volunteers for inviting me to take part in this collaborative project. I feel very proud to be part of creating this space that will hopefully bring healing and opportunity in equal measure.

Excited to be sharing herb walk dates at Springwater Farm, an organic farm rearing highland cattle, prioritising diversity and the health of the soil and their animals on the National Trust Killerton Estate.
🌿💚🌿

The first walk will look at Spring growth in the hedgerows and along the footpaths. We will share stories of these plants from folklore and hear how they are appropriate for healing in modern times.

At the end of the walk we’ll gather together around the fire for a herbal tea tasting and discuss how the plant constituents work within us.

Herbal medicine advice and remedies will also be available after the walk.
🌿💚🌿

As the wheel of the year turns we will be returning to Springwater Farm in the Summer and Autumn to meet seasonal plants and explore different footpaths.

I hope to see you there to share the beauty of the farm, its ethos and introduce you to the secrets of plant medicines around us.
