Explore, Forage, Create: Spring weed walk & mini workshop

  • Alma Treloar Reserve 73 Healesville - Koo Wee Rup Road Cockatoo, VIC, 3781 Australia (map)

oin herbalist Brodie and naturopath Kirsten for a walk around the Hills Community Garden beds and Cockatoo Creek to discover and discuss the plants we find growing there and in our community medicinal garden beds. We'll talk about ways to identify, harvest and prepare the plants as food and medicine. 

To celebrate the start of Spring, we’ll show you how to make elderflower cordial and herbal incense that you’ll be able to take home with you.

We'll be gathering at the garden beds near the playground at Alma Treloar Reserve at 10am for our morning session and 12.30pm for our afternoon session.
Remember to bring your own keep cup to enjoy a tasty herbal tea brewed from leaves we pick on the day and to try some delicious elderflower cordial. 

Because this event is held outside, weather appropriate gear like umbrellas and gumboots are recommended. It can get a bit muddy!

The proceeds from this event will go towards purchasing seeds and plants for our community medicinal garden. The medicinal garden bed is used to grow medicine that we share with the community and use as a platform to teach others how to look after themselves with natural medicine.

Bookings are essential and places are limited as we need to cap numbers to adhere to social distancing. Our July walk sold out so get in quick!

PLEASE NOTE: there are now two different session times to choose from - 10am and 12.30pm. Please select your preferred time when purchasing your ticket.
