I have been to two of Rachel’s workshops now, and thoroughly enjoyed both of them. Rachel is so friendly and knowledgeable, I find it fascinating to learn about the benefits of plants to our health and well-being. The products we made to take home were gorgeous, and I’m very much looking forward to the next workshop

I have attended the autumn and winter workshops now and look forward to booking more. Rachel is friendly and warm and makes the workshops accessible and enjoyable for all abilities and knowledge levels. I particularly enjoy the practical activities and a handout of all the salient points to take away is especially useful
