the herb farm is a wonderful place to come and experience a 'hands-on' workshop where you can create your own natural product to take home. All our products are made without chemicals or preservatives. You will learn about the active ingredients that make up your product; how herbal extracts are made and the properties of the nutrient rich oils and essential oils you are using.

A minimum number of 10 people is required when making a booking.
Workshops are ideal for club or work outings, family get-togethers, hens parties, Christmas functions, conference partner programmes or schools.
