Join local medical herbalist Jade Waterworth on a gentle herb walk through the beautiful High Woods Country Park in Colchester.

She will be teaching you about the medicinal and edible uses of local and native wildflowers and common plants which grow in abundance in hedgerows, meadows, woodlands and waysides.

Learn about the folklore and history of these common herbs as well as how to safely identify and harvest sustainably.

The walk will take approximately 1 hour and 30 mins.

The route is through a well-maintained track but please wear appropriate clothing and footwear as the track may be slightly muddy if it has been raining. There may be nettles along the path so covering up legs and feet is advised. The lakeside walk is in full sun so please wear sun protection if it is a sunny day. The event will still go ahead if it rains.

Tickets are £10. Children under 12 free.

There is parking available at High Woods Country Park with a small charge. Please meet in the car park 5-10 minutes before the event starts.
