About the session

 

Herbs & Nature is a calm, curiosity-led 10-week course exploring the world of herbs and trees through hands-on gardening and guided walks in Victoria Park. Rooted in therapeutic horticulture, the sessions offer space to learn, connect, and notice the changing seasons.

​

We will also use the gift of Victoria Park’s trees to connect with nature each week as you will be invited to appreciate the changing colours of Autumn as we take a walk in the park as a break from the horticultural activities. This is suitable for people with all levels of fitness.

 

Topics over the eight therapeutic sessions will look at soil and compost, no-dig principles, sowing seed, propagation, potting on, preparing a herb bed and planting out herbs.

Things to know

​

• The sessions will be led by Iraklis, one of Grow for Life’s staff members, and supported by a Grow for Life volunteer.
   

• While we will be working in the Council Parks greenhouses we will be sheltered, however stout shoes and a waterproof coat will be needed when we venture into the park each week.
   

• As we are working on Council premises we will be asked to wear a hi-vis vest when moving across the site, we will provide these.
   

• Do bring a snack and a drink for our mid-session break time.
