Weeds
When I moved house I wasn't sure what plants I would find in my new garden. I've been really happy to find most of the weeds that I use in my edible weeds workshop and also in my green oil workshop. Borage grows really well here - it always died in my old garden, it's a nice addition to a salad using the young leaves and the pretty flowers. It's also known as the 'herb of happiness' as it can lift the spirits. I'll be running my edible weeds workshop (a short introduction to their properties and uses) next Wednesday, August 5th, please let me know if you are interested. Green Oil will start on August 12th, this is held over 8 weeks (in two blocks 12.08 – 02.09, 07.10 – 28.10). I'll post more about this on my website later this week.
