A Herbal Revolution

Whilst we have our online course which is for subscribers only, We really believe that plant medicine should be accessible by all so we have included some free videos and articles from magazines that we wrote.

Magazine Articles - Danielle and Edwina have written a few articles that were published in Home farmer Magazine a few years ago. These followed the seasons, working with local and easily accessible plant medicines with amazing healing recipes that you can do at home. Click on Image to access
