Set within London’s oldest botanical garden, this workshop explores the mint family, home to some of our most familiar garden plants and most important herbal medicines. With over 6,000 species worldwide, these aromatic plants have an impressive presence in everyday life.

Moving beyond peppermint and lavender, participants will get to know a selection of native wild members of the mint family, exploring their individual characters and the many ways they can be used in food, skincare and medicinal preparations. Participants will also make their own mint based remedy to take home.
