What to expect

This is a practical workshop where you will discover the tradition of using herbs to purify and scent the home. Create your own natural, herbal cleaning and aromatic products.

From medieval times, strewing herbs like sage, tansy, violet, rose, mint, marjoram, hops, lavender, juniper, rosemary, chamomile, sweet woodruff and many more were mixed with rushes to cover stone and earthen flooring.

During the course of this event we will show you how to use some of these traditional strewing herbs in contemporary ways. You will create and take home your own unique cleaning spray, and a reed diffuser, which will provide natural uplifting botanical fragrance throughout the home.
