Join us for a hands-on session where we will be showing you how to make your own herbal goodies. The workshop will guide you through the basics of how we turn herbs into natural products, focusing on the restorative properties of a number of herbs. You will learn how to make a calendula infused lip balm, a rejuvenating bath salt soak and a relaxation spray with herbs and essential oils. You’ll take home a set of personalised goodies to enjoy at home.

Hackney Herbal is a social enterprise on a mission to show people how to incorporate herbs into their lifestyles for health and improved wellbeing. Operating since 2015, they grow herbs in a patchwork of sites around Hackney and from these they create unique herbal tea blends. The funds from the sale of these go towards free community activities in Hackney, which bring people together to learn, share knowledge and be inspired.
