Herb Workshops at Lisdoonan Herbs
Our garden (apart from some recycled palaeoecological samples!) and nursery are now peat free.  We try to be as sustainable as we can and use very few sprays or other chemical treatments.  Materials such as prunings, waste and scrap are recycled with enthusiasm and we make use of local organic materials such as stable and farmyard manure and mushroom compost. While this compares closely with "organic" gardening, we take a pragmatic approach to using natural recyclable materials, just as we eat locally produced food at times in preference to imported "organic" foods.  We keep an open mind, born no doubt of our scientific backgrounds.
 

DAY WORKSHOPS - for example "THE PRODUCTIVE GARDEN"
An in-depth look at seasonal herbs, vegetables, flowers and fruit in the garden;
a chance for hands-on experimentation with freshly harvested ingredients;
a vegetarian lunch with herbal theme, of items made in the class with home-made bread and soup / salads.
Propagation and cultivation with an environmentally friendly approach.
A chat and a cup of herbal tea to finish.
Cost from £25.00 per head.

We are now planning workshops for March to December 2005
