The Weeds We Walk On - Woodland venue for walks







These are some great pictures of the finishing post for the Woodland Walks for www.gowerhenparties.com. We'll be walking through woodland to a beautiful lake by a stream. The lake is covered with yellow lilies in the summer and is very beautiful. 
We'll gather herbs along the way, learning about their healing properties, before making tinctures under the refuge of the sedum-roofed roundhouse at the Gower Wildflower Centre.  We'll explore the herbs we pick (very carefully without damaging the local environment) by tasting and smelling them and learn about their properties.  Then we'll make some medicine for you to take home, with a printed handout about gathering herbs and making tinctures, so you can carry on the good work at your leisure.
The centre boasts a fantastic cafe featuring local produce cooked by the charismatic Gregg Sandles.  He's got some great reviews already on www.tripadvisor.com for his fabulous cooking.  Herbal hunters can order their lunch before settling down to the workshop at the end of the walk.
