You've been walking past this wild medicine your whole life…!

But after 2.5 hours, you’ll never look at a ‘weed’ the same way again.

Healing Weeds has taught 2000+ people across 6+ years to identify and use wild food and medicine. We show people how to see beyond the ‘sea of green’ and safely make wild medicine from their local area.

A person reaching into a woven basket filled with assorted wildflowers and plants in a garden setting.

You’ll leave with:

  • Plants you can actually name - confidence to spot the wild food and medicine already growing around you

  • Know how to actually use them - when to harvest, safety and why this knowledge matters

  • A different experience of nature - you'll never see a verge, hedgerow or park the same way again

A group of people standing in a line outdoors in a wooded area, observing or participating in a nature walk or educational activity.

What's included in every walk:

  • 2.5 hours outdoors in a small group (max 15) so everyone gets space to ask questions and get hands-on

  • All materials and post-walk toolkits

  • Sensory approach; we touch, taste and smell as we learn

  • Fully accessible routes, adaptable to your needs

  • Certificate of participation on request (for CPD + community groups)

Book your season

Each walk is shaped by what's growing in each season. Spring brings tender green shoots and the first medicinal herbs. Summer brings bright flowers and the first seeds. Autumn brings rich berries, nuts, seeds and fungi. Winter brings nourishing roots, evergreens, the bark medicines and the things most people walk straight past.
