We welcome you!
Our project is about working together and co-creating the vision of a healthy world that we want to live in.
You can come and get involved in whichever way suits you - garden sessions being outside with good souls through the year, joining medicine making activity, accessing the medicines, giving us ideas and desires about what kinds of medicines would be helpful for your health and your household/family/friends/community.
Follow the links to gardens, learning and medicines to see how to get involved with each of these areas of our activity. On the homepage of this site you can find links to our volunteer induction document and our mission and values.
