Courses description

Discover the medicinal plants growing right on your doorstep. Join Medical Herbalist Claire Goulding for a summer forage walk at Brandon Hill, then enjoy simple medicine making at Bristol Folk House. Learn about the medicinal properties of local trees, meadow flowers and hedgerow plants in bloom this season, and learn easy ways to turn them into healing remedies. You will also receive gentle guidance on sustainable foraging and connecting with the plants that thrive across the city. Leave with practical knowledge, handmade medicine and handout guides to take home.

The walk starts and ends at Bristol Folk House. This workshop takes place both at Brandon Hill for a guided forage walk and at Bristol Folk House.

The walk needs a general level of fitness and covers a short distance between sites, including some inclines, with lots of pauses along the way. Wear closed, comfortable shoes and clothing for any weather. A field trip form must be completed, and all students will register at Bristol Folk House.
