About this Event

THEME FOR THIS WALK: Early summer wild flowers and tree medicines

Join Medical Herbalist Jessie Martelhof on a series of gentle rambles around the fields, hedgerows, and woods surrounding Brighton to learn about the medicinal properties of the seasonal native wild plants and trees that grow there.

Learn how to safely identify and sustainably harvest these wild medicinal plants and learn about the different ways you might prepare them at home from drying to making oils or tinctures. Jessie will also share some of the fascinating history and folklore surrounding the use of these wild plants.

You will be stunned to learn about the rich medicinal traditions of many of the plants we consider ‘weeds’ for example, Nettles, Dandelions, Brambles, and so much more.

The walks will focus on what is in season and ready to use at that particular time of year. This is usually predominately leaves in early spring, flowers later in the spring and summer, then seeds, berries and roots in the late summer and autumn. However, there are usually a bit of all of these things at all times of year!

The walks are not strenuous or particularly far in distance, they are more of a slow and relaxing ramble, with the emphasis on looking and learning (and sometimes tasting) rather than making distance. All abilities will be welcome. The walk starting location is accessible by public transport.

Jessie has an infectious enthusiasm for wild plants and loves passing on her extensive knowledge of them.

Qualifications:

Jessie has a first-class BSc degree in Herbal Medicine from Lincoln University and runs her health practice; Gentle Medicine, on Ditchling road in Brighton. She has been running Wild Herbal medicine walks for over 6 years as well as other workshops and courses relating to herbal medicine including how to make your own herbal medicines and specific women’s health courses.
