<p>5th February 2026</p>
<p>Join me on Wednesday 18th February for a 2 hour stand alone taster session of Junior Herbalist Club.</p>
<p>Junior Herbalist Club (JHC) was set up in 2014 to teach children about the healing herbs growing all around. The session has an emphasis on learning through making but covertly covering core subjects.</p>
<p>This class will include making herb gifts to take home. Children will be encouraged to use magnifying glasses to look at the plants, learning about plant ID and we&#8217;ll create a plant ID discovery table (heading outside will be weather dependent, if the weather is terrible the herbs will be provided).</p>
<p>We&#8217;ll make a herbal infusion to try (everything is optional for those sensitive to new flavours!), create leaf rubbings as well as make a syrup for winter wellbeing and sleep pillows to take home.</p>
<p>Children under 8 will need a parent/guardian to stay with them for the duration of the class, please note the class is suitable for 6 years and above (keen nature loving/foraging 5 year olds will love it too!). Herbal tea will also be provided for grown ups! Please note children will need to wear clothes/shoes that can get messy.</p>
<p>Please bring a clean sterilised jam jar for the remedies the children will be making.</p>
<p>Book your space here:</p>

<div dir="auto">
<p>26th November 2025</p>
<p><span>Due to demand I have created a JHC Level One Easter School which will take place from Monday 30th March to Friday 3rd April at Prestbury Village Hall, with two classes each morning from 9.30am-12.00pm.</span></p>
<p>Ten lessons are delivered over the week and at the end of the week the children are given certificates of attendance and a badge and can &#8216;graduate&#8217; into Level Two if they&#8217;d like to.</p>
<p><span>The classes are fun and relaxed with the children using magnifying glasses to look at the herb, making &#8216;lotions and potions&#8217; to take home, trying herbal teas, creams, balms and glycerites to try new flavours and get to know the plants. We aim to get out when we can to identify the plants growing and to harvest herbs too. </span></p>
<div>Junior Herbalist Club (JHC) was started in 2014 as a local scheme in Lancashire.</div>
<div></div>
<div>All sessions are run by myself, a qualified Medical Herbalist who has undergone specific training in order to be able to deliver this course.</div>
<div></div>
<div>JHC has been planned so that each class the children build on their knowledge and skills. We start off with Lavender, a well-known and easily identifiable plant, and progress on to making sun-teas, infused oils, poultices, cordials, bath-bombs, and lip balms.</div>
<div></div>
<div>At the end of each session the children are given a worksheet to complete so they develop a portfolio of learning.</div>
<div></div>
<div><strong>By the end of Level One, we hope that the children will be able to:</strong></div>
<div>&#8211; Correctly identify many of the common medicinal plants growing in their gardens, parks, hedgerows and streets and that they will be able to distinguish between poisonous and non-poisonous plants.</div>
<div>&#8211; Know the medicinal properties of many common plants.</div>
<div>&#8211; Understand how to use some of these plants in first aid and how to use some plants for making medicines.</div>
<div>&#8211; Enjoy listening to the stories and tales of folklore and history surrounding the plants and herbal medicine.</div>
<div>&#8211; Know how to cultivate and harvest plants whilst respecting their environment and all of nature.</div>
<div></div>
<div><span>The cost for the Easter School will be £250 for the whole week, covering 10 classes, payable in advance to secure your child’s place. This covers all tuition, all the herbs, equipment, materials and worksheets to take home. Children will take home their &#8216;makes&#8217; each day as well.</span></div>
<p>This special week is limited to 10 children. Three spaces have already been reserved. Email me to receive further details and to register your child.</p>
<p>I look forward to seeing you for Junior Herbalist Easter School!</p>

<p><span>Due to demand I have created a JHC Level One class specifically to suit home education schedules, which will take place from Monday 15th September 2-3.30pm once a month at Prestbury Village Hall, </span></p>
<p><span>JHC is the only herbal medicine course created for children which is recognised by the National Institute of Medical Herbalists. It is delivered by fully qualified medical herbalists who&#8217;ve undergone specific training to teach the course. </span></p>
<p><span>The classes are fun and relaxed with the children using magnifying glasses to look at the herb, making simple remedies to take home, trying herbal teas, creams, balms and glycerites to try new flavours and get to know the plants. We aim to get out in the warmer months to identify the plants growing and to harvest</span><span> herbs too. </span></p>
<p><span>Children uner 8 require a parent or guardian to stay with them and although children of 6 years have attended, it does suit slightly older children. Level Three has a minimum age os 12 years old. </span></p>
<div><strong>Junior Herbalist Club &#8211; Notes for Grown Ups</strong></div>
<div></div>
<div>Junior Herbalist Club (JHC) was started in 2014 as a local scheme in Lancashire and has proven to be both popular and successful with children unwilling to leave at the end of Level One, so Level Two and Three has now been created.</div>
<div></div>
<div>All sessions are run by myself, a qualified Medical Herbalist who has undergone specific training in order to be able to deliver this course. Ten lessons are delivered over the week and at the end of the week the children are given certificates of attendance and a badge and can &#8216;graduate&#8217; into Level Two if they&#8217;d like to.</div>
<div></div>
<div>JHC has been planned so that each class the children build on their knowledge and skills. We start off with Lavender, a well-known and easily identifiable plant, and progress on to making sun-teas, infused oils, poultices, cordials, bath-bombs, and lip balms.</div>
<div></div>
<div>At the end of each session the children are given a worksheet to complete so they develop a portfolio of learning.</div>
<div></div>
<div><strong>By the end of the course, we hope that the children will be able to:</strong></div>
<div>&#8211; Correctly identify many of the common medicinal plants growing in their gardens, parks, hedgerows and streets and that they will be able to distinguish between poisonous and non-poisonous plants.</div>
<div>&#8211; Know the medicinal properties of many common plants.</div>
<div>&#8211; Understand how to use some of these plants in first aid and how to use some plants for making medicines.</div>
<div>&#8211; Enjoy listening to the stories and tales of folklore and history surrounding the plants and herbal medicine.</div>
<div>&#8211; Know how to cultivate and harvest plants whilst respecting their environment and all of nature.</div>
<div></div>
<div><span>The cost for the classes will be £210 for the whole course, covering 10 classes, payable in advance to secure your child’s place. This covers all tuition, equipment, herbs and materials, plus a folder, worksheets and everything the children make to take home.</span></div>
<p>Email me to receive further details and to register your child!</p>
<p>I look forward to seeing you for Level One Junior Herbalist Club in September.</p>

<p>6th June 2025</p>
<p>New Cheshire herb workshop!</p>
<p>Join me on Thursday 3rd July at Plumleys Garden Centre for a herb workshop to learn all about herbal infusions and how I work with plant medicine in my dispensary.</p>
<p>You’ll blend your own herbal tea to take home after experiencing a whole host of tea tastings using all the senses. So often people say to me that they just don&#8217;t know what flavours they like and this is a great way to taste a selection of different herbal teas!</p>
<p>During the workshop you’ll also learn about some folklore and historical methods of working with the selection of seasonal herbs. In addition you&#8217;ll learn tips on harvesting, drying and storing herbs for teas and what to look out for when you&#8217;re buying or creating your own blends.</p>
<p>Why not bring a friend or one of the family &#8211; this event also makes a lovely gift for someone.</p>
<p>Tickets are £35 per person and must be booked in advance. You can book a space for this herb workshop here:</p>
<p><a href="https://buytickets.at/woodsideapothecary1">https://buytickets.at/woodsideapothecary1</a></p>
<p>So join me for a morning of herbal infusions, tea tastings and blending your own tea to take home from 11am-12.30pm on Thursday 3rd July at Plumleys Garden Centre.</p>
<p>I look forward to meeting you,</p>

<p>4th April 2025</p>
<p><span>I was thrilled this week to find out that several people have nominated Woodside Apothecary for the Best Wellbeing Specialist in Cheshire in the Muddy Stiletto Awards &#8211; I&#8217;m a regional finalist!</span></p>
<p><span>With Woodside Apothecary being a fledgling business less than three years old, this really means the world.</span></p>
<p><span>It was so tough re-training for five years and it meant a lot of sacrifices along the way, but I love being a herbalist and supporting people with their health, introducing them to herbal medicine.</span></p>
<p><span>I&#8217;d be so grateful for any votes you could send my way, I don&#8217;t have a physical shop to share my news, so would appreciate your help!</span></p>
<p><span>Having more awareness of herbal medicine and how it can help would be amazing. </span></p>
<p><span>Head over to this link to place your vote, the link is also on my Facebook and Instagram.</span></p>
<p><span><a href="https://cheshire.muddystilettos.co.uk/awards/vote/">https://cheshire.muddystilettos.co.uk/awards/vote/</a></span></p>
<p><span>Voting closes at 1pm on 15th April.</span></p>

<p>The aim of Junior Herbalist Club (JHC) is to let children learn about the healing and medicinal plants all around them in a safe and supervised environment, whilst covertly incorporating core subjects including English, Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Botany, Latin and Cookery. JHC also helps children to gain confidence, improve fine motor control and develop a new skill set.</p>

<p>Junior Herbalist Club (JHC) is a course for children which runs for 90 minutes, once a month, for 10 months of the year. My lessons run at Prestbury Village Hall, Cheshire from 1.30-3pm one Saturday a month. The children are taken on a journey of discovery, engaging all their senses with playful practical skills. A great way of engaging children is through making ‘lotions and potions’ to take home.</p>
<p>JHC Leaders undergo specific training and must be members of a professional association in order to deliver classes. Currently I’m the only Medical Herbalist offering Junor Herbalist Club classes in Cheshire.</p>
<p>JHC has been planned so that each month the children build on their knowledge and skills. We start off with Lavender, a well-known and easily identifiable plant, and progress on to making sun-teas, infused oils, poultices, cordials, bath-bombs, and lip balms.</p>
<p>At the end of each session the children are given a worksheet to complete so they develop a portfolio of learning.<br />By the end of the year, we hope that the children will be able to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Correctly identify many of the common medicinal plants growing in their gardens, parks, hedgerows and streets and that they will be able to distinguish between poisonous and non-poisonous plants.</li>
<li>Know the medicinal properties of many common plants.</li>
<li>Understand how to use some of these plants in first aid and how to use some plants for making medicines.</li>
<li>Enjoy listening to the stories and tales of folklore and history surrounding the plants and herbal medicine.</li>
<li>Know how to cultivate and harvest plants whilst respecting their environment and all of nature.</li>
</ul>
